Yes, you too can now own a miniature Yankee Stadium for only $115,000. By the way, Mickey Mantle made $75,000 in 1961. Roger Maris made $42,000 in that same year. Or a combined salary of $117,000 for both Yankee sluggers.
“The field dimensions faithfully replicate the home run boundaries that faced Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle during their epic race to break ‘The Babe’s’ home run record in 1961, complete with the short, 295′ porch in right field and the nearly unapproachable 466′ centerfield wall.”
