Awesome collection of images. Thank you, Alan. You should send this to PBS cause it would make a great American experience story.
This day {September 29th} is both a great day and a very sad day in the history of the Polo Grounds...
First the great day; on this day in 1954 Willie Mays made the most famous catch in World Series history...
'The Catch' it forever etched in my mind; I was only nine years at the time, and it was my first year of playing Little League...
Now for the sad day; on this day in 1957 the New York Giants baseball team played their last game in the Polo Grounds...
The white print is easy to read,
The yellow/gold print is harder to read
⚾️ Great video of the lost parks 👌🏻
Great video! 👍
Great music.
the song is "Slaughter On 10th Avenue" and was played by The Ventures, James Last, Stanley Black and Mick Ronson among others. This version is by Classics Big Band.
You have the wrong location for the Polo Grounds. The original field was at the north end of Central Park but it moved to 155th Street and 8th Avenue. That is where the one that you feature was located.
And 11 years later, it's STILL wrong!
Very well done.
No prob, buddy boy. Great job on the vid. Just faved!
What don't you understand. At the1:03 mark, he gives the location as "between 5th and 6th Avenues and between 110th and 112th Street". Yet the one in the video is the later one which was further uptown. Get it?
At 2:21, the now wrongly demonized Kate Smith at the lower left hand corner.
A time it was. And what a time it was.
great video...Who was the big band in the background??Almost sounds like Stan Kenton or maybe Maynard Fergueson...
It would have been cool if the left that last set of ramps stand from Shea stadium as a memorial
nice work!!!!
The Yankee Stadium scoreboard was not sold to the Phillies, that is an urban legend.
At the age of 8 my Dad took me to my first baseball game He had always been a rabid Giants fan and so we went to the Polo Grounds to see the Giants play the Dodgers This was 1957 the last year I actually don't remember much about the game but afterwards we went to the door where the players were leaving and in the crowd Willy Mays stepped on my foot Years later I saw the Mets play the Giants there and I also went to Yankee stadium and Shea Stadium but never made it to Ebbets Field end of an era
I saw Ebbets Field in 1957 and Yankee Stadium the next year. Got to the Polo Grounds to see the Mets and have been to all NY parks since. Nice story about Mays.
But, you do have the renovation timeline/owner wrong... It closed in 73, and the renovations, that Steinbrenner brought on were started in 74...
Steinbrenner did not negotiate the deal to have Yankee stadium renovated. The deal was negotiated by Mike Burke during 1971 and 1972. Mike Burke and only Mike Burke is the reason the Yankees are still in the Bronx.
Thank you
Why not include Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City?The Dodgers played 15 games there in 56' and 57'.
Didn't know that the site for Shea Stadium was offered to Walter O'malley for the Dodgers. Wonder why he didn't accept.
Backl then it was even more of a shit hole than it was when Shea went up. And LA was glamorous & then relatively unspoiled (compared to what it is today).
His main reason for declining the Flushing Meadows site was that it wasn't in Brooklyn. If he couldn't get a site in Brooklyn his feeling was that the club might as well be the "anywhere Dodgers." Hence, his motivation to move to an already willing Los Angeles.
@@MrMichaelARubin That seems strange because the New York Giants and New York Jets play in New Jersey, and they still are considered New York teams even though they play in another state. So I don't see why moving the Dodgers to Queens would have made much of a difference
It was a big deal to Walter O'Malley in the mid-1950's to either stay in Brooklyn or move out-of-state. He didn't want to be elsewhere in New York City. And he already had overtures from Los Angeles, so when a "non-Brooklyn" offer was made to him by Robert Moses, he was more interested in Los Angeles: A great book to read that details all this is: "The Dodgers Move West," by Neil J. Sullivan, 1987. I may just read my copy again.
I thought the Dodgers were offered a tract on Atlantic Avenue, but Robert Moses and O'Malley couldn't agree on anything.
People today don't know anything about rivalries. When they think of a rivalry they think of the Yanks and Sox. How lame. The New York Giants and the Brooklyn Dodgers. That was a rivalry! It was more: it was a blood feud. My dad and I were Giants fans. I'd tell him, "Hey, dad, the Giants are playing at Ebbets Field. Let's go!" "That's okay, son," he reply, "They'll be playing at the Polo Grounds in a few weeks." He wouldn't sully himself going to Ebbets Field. It was the Polo Grounds or nothing.
Apparently you've never seen the fights between the Sox and the Yanks.
@@howie9751 The Dodgers & Giants had plenty of their own fights.
I'd love to to see Yankees Stadium restored to 1923 dimensions.
Just to see the color drain from today's players.
Ballantine scoreboard being sold to the Phillies is a myth. The Ballantine scoreboard at CMS was built new for the Phillies. Yankee stadium still had their Ballantine scoreboard at that time.
I see what you're saying now....I thought you were just saying that the actual location of the Polo Grounds wasn't on 110th... My bad! He did get the Yankees Stadium renovation timeline wrong as well. Not trying to spam here, but if you have a couple minutes, take a look at the video I put together for the original stadium w/ my son on my page. He was 6 when we put it together...Thankfully he was able to see 1 game at the 'old' one before they tore it down..
Several of your dates are incorrect. You can check dates of various phases of expansions of the older ballparks at www.andrewclem.com
I want to know what music was used for this video. I absolutely love it!
ruclips.net/video/nYJ4mfAcKVI/видео.html
Arbiter, I ended up buying the whole album. The music is that good.
Yankee stadium was a lot better (to watch) when the monuments and flag pole were in the field of play. I guess the players are worth too much these days and need padded fences, etc.......
The Yankees played two seasons at Shea Stadium in the 1970's
And one game in the late 1990's. Darryl Strawberry hit a home run for the Yankees and the apple in center field was momentarily raised. History didn't repeat itself this year when Lucas Duda didn't hit one for the Rays against the Yankees.
And Shea played two years in San Francisco in 1901-02.
To Chris Knox-The Yankees also played @ Shea in the 2 000 World Series.

awaseniu, can you tell me the name of the music and the artist playing it?
No he doesn't. The original one was on 110th between 5th and 6th..
I don't remember who the artist is, I'm sorry
The Yankees played at Shea during the 1974-75 seasons, while Yankee stadium was being refurbished . The larger dimensions got into Bobby Murcer's head so badly that they traded him to the Cubs.
Murcer was traded to San Fran after the 1974 season for Bobby Bonds. He played both 1975 and 1976 with San Fran. Murcer was traded with Steve Ontiveros and Andy Muhlstock by San Fran to the Cubs just before the 1977 season for Bill Madlock and Rob Sperring .
I don't think Shea had a bigger outfield than the original Yankee Stadium it was smaller to me in left field and symmetrical which was the style in those days which was different from most of the old parks. Center field was 410 feet in Shea compared to 462 feet in Yankee Stadium. The 1970s rebuilding made the outfield dimensions a bit shorter but still bigger than Shea.
Murcer was traded because of a contract dispute with Gabe Paul.
