Two must have books for anyone trying to conjure up visions of the Polo Grounds:

Under Coogan's Bluff, Fred Stein

The Echoing Green, Josh Prager

and this long-lost but priceless WABC documentary from 1964, Requiem For An Arena:

Without a doubt, these 3.

Being a Babe fan can be very expensive/competitive so I gravitate towards the St Mary`s Industrial School items when they pop up. Really enjoy this item, it being one of 3 snapshots from Sept. 18`th 1920 depicting the final game between the Babe and Joe Jackson. Babe took the St M`s band on the road at the end of the 1920 season to raise money to rebuild his fire ravaged home where his baseball career started. Another interesting twist with this snapper, it shows members of the famous Black Sox just about 10 days prior to Judge Landis ending all 8 of their careers forever.

I think it changes over time, I'd still say that it's my 1952 Berk Ross Mickey Mantle. It was one of the first "Big" purchases I made, and it also represented the first pre-1954 Mantle I would own. It was also first time in a while I made an in person purchase, as it was near the peak of the pandemic.

Chuck was super accommodating and willing to meet me, downtown Brooklyn. We talked a lot and it was really refreshing, at that point to talk to someone in person, that wasn't a family member! I'll own this for the rest of my life.

This is not my "Favorite" but for some reason I enjoy it the most.
