Al, thank you for sharing those great shots of the new stadium.
This geezer, just a stone throw from the Potomac River, lived 60 years in Yankee land.
My very first game was at the Polo Grounds in 1944, I couldn't help that, cause my dad was a Giant's fan, and a friend of Dolf Luque, then a coach.
However, I was a Yank fan, and me and my school friends would be bleacherites at the old Yankees Stadium in 1944.
The war time years of my hero, Snuffy Sternweiss and Nick Etten, Crossetti, Tucker Stainbach, Bud Metheney, Hank Borowy etc.
They were the best of times, they were the worse of times, but anyway you cut it ..... I miss the island of Manhattan, and I miss some of those times.
Al, again I thank you for sharing your pictures.
Come to think of it, I use to play some semi pro football where that new stadium is currently built.
Stay well,
Joe
