Once again you've tugged on the ol' heart strings, Jimmy. I have to go with Hubbell as well. And, that's not even because I love the man so much. Well, maybe it is a little bit.
But really, being at the Polo Grounds in 1934? When all of those colorful advertisements adorned the outfield walls? And in bright sunlight, a packed house watching the likes of Ruth, Gehrig, Foxx, Simmons, Gehringer, Dickey and Gomez? Heck, and that's just on the AL side. What about Hubbell, Ott, Traynor, Hartnett, Dean, Frisch, and Medwick? What a sight it must have been.
I swear, I have dreams about all of the color that must have been in that ballpark. And 'yes', I do need to get a life...
