Artist creates stunning Yankee Stadium drawing featuring names of every player who played there.

This open edition fine print by artist Daniel Duffy features the legendary Yankee Stadium, home to the New York Yankees from 1923-2008. Duffy had created this word art by handwriting the names of every single Yankee to play in the stadium – from legends like Ruth/Gehrig in the 20s/30s to the Core Four of Jeter/Posada/Rivera/Pettitte in the 90s/2000s. He used a post-1946 image (after the lights were added), and made sure to use an angle that could show off the stadium's signature façade, recreating the nostalgia of one of the great cathedrals of baseball: The House that Ruth Built!

***At the end, Duffy went in and added the 2009 Yankees in order to include the names of all 27 World Series Championship teams – bringing the total to 1465 names! All in all over 100 hours went into the artwork.
