This 1939 IRT route map indicates Yankee Stadium as a nearby attraction, not part of the station name: http://www.nycsubway.org/perl/caption.pl?/img/maps/irt_1939_small.jpg

As does this Hagstrom map from the same year: http://www.nycsubway.org/perl/caption.pl?/img/maps/system_1939.jpg

This official 1948 map indicates 161st-River Ave: http://www.nycsubway.org/perl/caption.pl?/img/maps/system_1948_small.gif

And 1951: http://www.nycsubway.org/perl/caption.pl?/img/maps/system_1951_a.jpg

"Yankee Stadium" seems first to appear as part of the station name in 1972, http://www.nycsubway.org/perl/caption.pl?/img/maps/system_1972.jpg, which is consistent with my general recollection about changes to station signage.
