Fan builds replica Yankee Stadium using 75,000 matchsticks

Bill "Brother Beans" Becker once met Babe Ruth, but that's far from his most epic Bronx tale. Brother Beans is the proud creator of a replica Yankee Stadium -- made entirely of matchsticks.

The 86-year-old Toms River, N.J., native apparently burned each stick, scraped off the black char and then folded what was left into "mini 2x4's." Three years and 75,000 matches later, Brother Beans had himself an amazing creation.

Before Tuesday's Mariners-Yankees game, the masterpiece was on display at the stadium.
