An interesting story from the New York Times about the Polo Grounds. This is not a ballpark often mentioned when people start recounting warm and fuzzy memories of no-longer-existing ballparks. It is in the news now because the San Francisco Giants are bringing their 2010 World Series trophy to New York this weekend to visit its ancestral home.
And for the Pittsburgh-centric amongst the readers, were you aware that the famous Billy Conn - Joe Louis first fight took place at the Polo Grounds? I always presumed that it happened at Yankee Stadium.
Anyway, hope you enjoy the article:
