Yankee Stadium in 1923, about 2 weeks before opening.
The Yankees began their first World Championship Season on April 18 as they opened Yankee Stadium. Babe Ruth christened the new stadium, with a home run in the Yankees' 4–1 victory over the Boston Red Sox. The stadium would later be called "the House that Ruth Built".
On May 5, the Yankees beat the Philadelphia Athletics 7–2 at Yankee Stadium to regain first place, the Yankees would never fall back in the standings for the rest of the season.
Babe Ruth set a Yankees record for highest batting average in one season by hitting .393. Ruth also finished the season with 41 home runs and 131 RBIs. Ruth’s average was not enough to win the batting title, as Ruth finished in second place to Detroit’s Harry Heilmann who batted .403. Ruth reached base safely 379 times during the season.[1]
