Tuesday nite Trivia ?

[Doug]

I think I know the answer, but I had to look it up and make sure so I don't want to cheat.

I don't know Ted if this is what you mean, but I believe the Giants owner kicked them out of the Polo Grounds. I know a Stoneham was the owner but I can't recall his first name.

I'm not too sure what the motivating force meant either, but Charles Stoneham (I had to look up his first name) was my guess since he's the one that kicked the Yankees out of the Polo Grounds.

[Peter_Spaeth]

Oh yeah Charles, all I could think of was Horace, the son.

[Doug]

That was what I meant by I didn't want to cheat, because I had to look up the first name. I was waiting for someone else to guess it first so they could get the credit (if that is the answer).

Charles Stoneham is a reluctant party to the "conspiracy". Ther are two bigger names involved.

Huston and Ruppert?

I think Babe Ruth is still turning in his grave cursing the name A-roid !!!!! I'm glad you had fun Ted and sure it is a nice stadium, but I still feel like it was a crime against baseball to tear down the house that Ruth built, but at the same time a very American thing to do !

[tedzan]

I'm with you on that...I have very fond memories of the original Yankee Stadium (1923 - 1973).

Best regards friend,
