You don’t need to be a Yankees diehard to find the daily photo updates on the Demolition of Yankee Stadium blog fascinating. In fact, it might give certain people (we’re looking at you, BoSox fans), a cheap thrill to watch the “The House That Ruth Built” slowly crumble. (Bronx kids too young to remember the former stadium, but old enough to use the new playing fields scheduled to take its place, are probably happy too.) Now that most of the upper levels have been gutted, construction crews are faced with loads of rubble and dust; that said, the project isn’t scheduled for completion until June. More photos — which were all shot yesterday — after the jump.

At least the new stadium has silenced that whole “House that Ruth Built” nonsense. The old park’s dimensions were changed in 1973, and you never had any sense of history there — unlike some older, greener ballparks we know.
