Interesting…I am down the block from where Herman Melville was born at 780 Holmes Rd, Pittsfield, MA 01201 and later down the block from where he is buried ( Woodlawn Cemetery ) at W. 259th
Wow ! Absolutely, the best baseball presentation I have ever seen. I missed opening day with Don, but got to see it on replay today. Cant wait for the DVD and PBS special…..Ken Burns can not light a candle to Don Rice.

Remember…The American League team received its approval to move from Baltimore to New York, but only in Manhattan. The “Yankees” had no choice but to build on the worse property in Manhattan, because the Giants had all the real estate for sale in a political lock. That being Marble Hill ( water and space problems) and Hilltop Park – ( small & rocky ) They chose Hill Top.. Later the Polo Grounds with the Giants and finally able to move to the Bronx. Co-op City area and Pelham Bay Park were possibilities also.
With The Long Term deal with the Knights of Columbus and the shuttle to the Polo Grounds & Lexington Ave Line & the D line was on the drafting table, with all that space…Such a deal !
Found a link to a Julius Press divorce decree. President of the Parkchester Inn – 1508 Metropolitan Ave., Bronx,
