Very good observation regarding your color comparison (Halloween -- Giants).
I grew up with guys like the man you met at that Cubs - Cards game. When the New York Giants left the Polo Grounds in 1957, these guys were devastated. Three years prior to that move, the Giants beat the mighty Cleveland Indians 4-0 in the World Series. People always talk about hating Walter O'Malley for the Dodgers leaving Ebbets field (actually Robert Moses, the NY poli- tician, was more to blame). Anyhow, Horace Stoneham was just as hated as O'Malley. It was a "double whammy" for New Yorkers in 1957. It was the year I graduated High School. Most of my classmates were Dodger or Giants fans. While "talkin baseball" at our recent 50th H.S. reunion with my classmates, I will tell you that many of these guys still hold grudges 50 years later. TED Z
