PointNiner Heritage File: the real "Bronx Bomber"

I don't think that this is how the New York Yankees got that nickname, but it sure is a great shot that I highly doubt you'll ever see again. This B-17 Flying Fortress makes a low fly over of Yankee Stadium at the start of Game 1 of the 1943 World Series. Note that painted on the grandstand is "Buy U.S. War Bonds" and the even funnier "See Score Card for Alert Instructions".
