Remember New York’s other other team
ByUnlike the Brooklyn Dodgers, the New York Giants were good at baseball. Unlike the Dodgers, they weren’t the heart and soul of a borough struggling to carve out an identity for itself during times of change. Unlike Brooklyn Dodger fans, old New York Giants fans don’t carry fifty-year-old grudges on their sleeves. And while Ebbets Field is often represented as the ideal embodiment of sepia-tinged nostalgia, the Polo Grounds don’t evoke the same feel of history in New York sports culture. Today, Richard Sandomir catches up with a few old Giants fans who still pine for the team of their youth. It’s a fun read of an oft-neglected part of New York baseball histroy.
Shyster had a quick overview of the article, sounds pretty interesting. Quick update: Gonzo’s playing 2B, Robbie’s got the day off
i dont like the new comment system. you cant tell who’s responding to who.
Yes you can. But the new system replaced the old system without keeping the replies in order. The cost of progress.
I don’t know if it’s my computer or everyones, but this is going sooooooooooooooo much slower than yesterday
No offense, dan, but I think it’s your computer. I’m getting page load times of 0.5-1 second. Yesterday by the middle of the game we were well beyond that.
