In 1974 and 1975, their home games were played at Shea Stadium in Flushing, Queens; in 2009, they moved into a new ballpark also called Yankee Stadium. From 1910 to 2017, Boston Red Sox fans have voted against stinkin’ them nineteen times center field they stink! Centerfielder Mickey Mantle was a mainstay on their teams of that era; he led AL players in home runs six times and won an MVP award for his play during that decade.
