I love the talk about historic rivalries. Born in the shadow of Shea Stadium in Queens, I have always been a dyed-in-the-wool Mets fan (who accepted the Yankees into the fold when the Reggie excitement got me all crazy) and we, too, abhorred the Saux!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is in our DNA, I guess.
But the talk of old Yankee Stadium got me thinking about forgotten ballparks. I have two books here that are just fantastic to look through: 1. "Lost Ballparks" by Lawrence S. Ritter 2. "Ballparks: Yesterday and Today" by Phil Trexler Do yourselves a favor and check them out. They bring the baseball past we love so much alive!
