What a terrific post! And some great items. My only contribution is this aerial photograph of the Polo Grounds in 1920. There is no snipe on the back, just scribbling and a rubber stamped "Filed November 27, 1920" which was the date of the Army-Navy game, won by the Middies 7-0. I read some contemporary game accounts in the NYT archives and it mentioned that there wasn't a seat to be had. I am assuming that the game hadn't started yet when the photo was taken, based on the short shadows; you can see people still walking in.
