I have a copyright question, if I take a picture of Yankee stadium and or a sports figure at a game and put it on a T-Shirt is that an infringement of a copyright?

I'm not a lawyer, but a picture of a sports figure would probably be a violation of that person's right to publicity, which basically means you couldn't sell it.
Not sure about a picture of Yankee stadium, you might try asking them directly. I know some landmarks are trademarked.

Yes. I don't know the exact terminology, but sports figures market themselves, so you can't make money off of using their photos. I am sure the same thing goes for the sports stadiums.
You may be able to get a license though. I can imagine it would be expensive. This is probably where a lawyer would come in handy
Just posted this on another thread and it would defintely apply to you:
Be particularly careful about celebrities. Using a photograph of a celebrity for your own commercial gain - for example, posting a photo you took of Clint Eastwood on your business's marketing material or Web site - is asking for a lawsuit, even if you took the photograph when you ran into Clint on a public street.
