Everyone Is Beautiful At Yankee Stadium

Like many folks in NYC, I’m slowly coming to grips with the fact that I will have my first baseball free October in thirteen years. I guess that’s a good thing with all the concerts I have lined up next month, or at least I keep telling myself that. There have been many heartfelt tributes to the House That Ruth Built over the last few days, the latest comes in the way of an aptly titled song Yankee Stadium from E Street Band member Nils Lofgren.

Here’s some info about the track straight from Nils’ website…

Hello everyone. Nils Lofgren here. I wanted to give you some history on this new song, “Yankee Stadium.” My fabulous wife Amy (a Jersey girl), remains a life-long Yankee fan with a great, emotional history of experience in Yankee Stadium from childhood to present. Her concept and the song’s chorus; “everyone is beautiful in Yankee Stadium,” was born from those memories and experiences. She’s been asking me to write this song for a while and here it is.

I’m a long time fan myself, especially of the mythical and mystical nature of old Yankee Stadium, which I’ve been fortunate to experience first hand. This song is an homage born of respect and gratitude for all the emotional and spiritual beauty Yankee Stadium has offered to so many, for so long. We hope all you Yankee fans out there enjoy it!
