I remember ordering stuff from Manny's Baseball Land (probably from ads in the Sporting News). It seemed like a dream store and one off-season weekend I convinced my dad to drive me there. It turned out to be a hole-in-the-wall right across from Yankee Stadium. I'm not even sure I was allowed inside, I think I asked for things and someone went in to get them. Based on the size of the ads, I had imagined something bigger. I know it expanded into Stan's Baseball Land, but in the early 1970s it was pretty much a mail order operation.
