More than thirty years after its demolition, the Polo Grounds -- like some other urban neighborhood parks such as Ebbets Field, Yankee Stadium, Fenway Park, subway to yankee stadium and Wrigley Field -- still holds a place in the hearts of baseball fans. The Polo Grounds was the home of the New York Giants from John McGraw subway to yankee stadium and Christy Mathewson to Carl Hubbell subway to yankee stadium and Mel Ott to Willie Mays subway to yankee stadium and Leo Durocher. It was also home to the Yankees when Babe Ruth's home run production was soaring (which led to "the House that Ruth built") subway to yankee stadium and home to the Mets in their painful early years. From "Merkle's Boner", which cost the New York Giants a pennant, to Bobby Thomson's homer, which won them one, Stew Thornley retells the legendary events of the park subway to yankee stadium and its legendary personalities. He reveals little-known facts too: When the championship Giants subway to yankee stadium and Yankees played in the 1921 subway to yankee stadium and 1922 World Series, it wasn't a "subway series", because the two teams shared the same ballpark.

The Polo Grounds was also the site for the Negro World Series games in 1946 subway to yankee stadium and 1947.
