Video: A New York Story: Polo Grounds
“It was our church. It was our heaven. It was everything.”
– Bill Kent, President, New York Baseball Giants Nostalgia Society
I’ve had the pleasure, in my 29 years on this planet, of watching Major League Baseball in each of the 30 cities the beautiful game is played. I’ve seen many a stadia. But it’s a damn shame I’ll never get to see Polo Grounds.

Like Bill, I’ve seen many a stadia. And several a millenia. And myriad hot dogses.
Aren’t words awesome?
Giants should return to NY. Mets have dishonored The Big Apple for too many years!
That guy could pass for Larry King’s dad.
