THE London Stadium has undergone a stunning revamp - as a baseball pitch was installed ahead of the MLB series between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox.

A double-header between the two most famous teams in baseball will take place at West Ham's home ground on June 29 and 30.

It will be the first time ever the Yankees and Red Sox rivalry has spilled outside of the USA.

The baseball series has been on the cards for well over a year now, with Graham Gilmore, CEO of the stadium, saying he's "proud" to host it.

Gilmore claimed: “As a venue, we are immensely proud to be hosting the MLB’s international series at London Stadium in 2019.

“The event will see London Stadium further its aims to become the most widely used stadium in Europe...

"We are relishing the opportunity to work with MLB for their international series next summer.

“The New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox rekindling their rivalry in the UK for the very first time will provide yet another incredible sporting spectacle which the entire city can be proud of.

“We look forward to welcoming the MLB, teams and fans to London Stadium for the first year of what we hope to be a fruitful, long term partnership.”

The London Stadium has previously been used for world athletics, international and domestic rugby union and league, as well as West Ham football.

The ground was also used for the IAAF World Athletics Championships and the IPC World ParaAthletics Championships in 2017, as well as musical events.

Meanwhile, Sadiq Khan - the mayor of London - added: “Since I became mayor, I have been determined to bring baseball to our city.
