GEHRIG'S FAREWELL SPEECH; LARSEN'S PERFECT GAME; BOONE'S PENNANT-WINNING HOMER: WHICH IS YANKEE STADIUM'S GREATEST BASEBALL MOMENT?

Beginning Saturday Afternoon, MLB on FOX Lets Viewers Decide

Yankee Stadium, home of the Bronx Bombers, winners of 26 World Championships. The House that Ruth Built. The Big Ball Yard in the South Bronx. No matter what you call it, no matter where you live, no matter what team you root for, all baseball fans can agree that Yankee Stadium's confines have witnessed some of the greatest moments in baseball history, and this season is its last.

As homage to the great baseball cathedral that sits at 161st Street & River Avenue, which also hosts the 2008 MLB ALL-STAR GAME, MLB on FOX has compiled what it considers to be Yankee Stadium's 13 greatest baseball "moments," and beginning Saturday, April 19, during its SATURDAY BASEBALL GAME OF THE WEEK broadcasts, fans will be able to determine which one is no. 1. Each week, one of the 13 Yankee Stadium moments will be featured on-air, and viewers will be prompted to log on to http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb and cast a vote for their favorite.

The last nomination will be highlighted on Saturday, July 12, with the top moment announced during MLB on FOX's coverage of the 79th MLB All-Star Game, live from Yankee Stadium on Tuesday, July 15.
