Tyler Kepner of the Times has a great article and voice assisted slide show covering some of the secrets of Yankee Stadium - areas of the park that fans generally don't get to see.

Among them, a painting on a beam in the seat repair shop, depicting Yankee captains Derek Jeter, Thurman Munson and Lou Gehrig with Gehrig weeping.

[Yankees adviser, Ray] Negron, who has worked for the Yankees since 1973, said Gehrig’s widow once told him the room was a refuge for her husband when a degenerative nerve disease was ravaging his body. When Gehrig needed privacy, he would retreat to that room. His wife would wait by a side door, just up a ramp beside the old bullpen, and take him home.
