VINTAGE 1923 YANKEE STADIUM Metal Seating Post Plaque SECTION 19D - RUTH GEHRIG For Sale

In the original Yankee Stadium (1923–1973 configuration),seat numbers like 19D were part of the reserved box seating system used in thelower deck.

How the Seat Numbering Worked

Seats were typically labeled in this format:

Section number – Row letter – Seat number

But on many original Yankee Stadium seats the row letterwas actually stamped on the seat back and the seat number appeared separately,which sometimes creates combinations like 19D depending on how the plate orslat was marked.

Likely Meaning of “19D”

Most commonly it indicates:

• Section 19
• Row D
• Seat number would have been on the seat slat itself

Where Section 19 Was

In the 1923–1973 seating chart:

• Section 19 was in the lower deck reserved box area along the first-base side
• Roughly between home plate and first base
• A few rows back from the field behind the dugout area

This location would have been:

• Excellent lower-level seating
• Close to the Yankees dugout side of the field
• Popular with season ticket holders.

Row D Position

Row letters started at the front:

• Row A – first row
• Row B
• Row C
• Row D

So Row D would have been four rows off the field,extremely close to the action.

What That Means Historically

From this seat you could have seen the likes of players such as:

• Babe Ruth
• Lou Gehrig
• Joe DiMaggio
• Mickey Mantle

All of whom played in theoriginal stadium configuration.
