Arnold, thanks for sharing those great Polo Grounds memories. Fantastic because I was a Giants fan when everyone else in the neighborhood seemed to root for the Yankees or the Dodgers. As a very young kid during the 50's I recall thinking that baseball teams play against each other during the season to see who plays against the Yankees during the World Series. I don't the stat's, but I think the Yankees were pretty commanding at that time. The other childish 'conclusion I made' was that the United States was Irish Catholic...I was neither, but my friends stayed with me. Good times, plenty of friends, and most of us had parents who had Lionel trains in the basement too. I still have all of the trains, and great memories to boot!
