Take a stroll through Yankee Stadium’s Monument Park, and you are instantly struck by the presence of greatness. Many of the finest players in baseball history enjoyed their best seasons while wearing the fabled pinstripes, a list dominated by Babe Ruth, the greatest slugger the game has ever known.

NEW YORK -- Joe DiMaggio leaned against a railing, neatly clad in a sport coat, blue shirt and tie, overlooking what had once been his office: center field at the original Yankee Stadium.
