Now I wonder if the Yankees were not allowed to build the outfield into the Bronx ? I never noticed the dividing curve

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.

Peter is correct about the NYC records….Many properties have 1898 or 1900 when the records were moved from Westchester County to the Bronx. However, Westchester County still has their original documents on microfilm and computers. If you trace out a deed in the Bronx, it may refer you to a name who owned the property sold to the Bronx purchaser. Armed with that information, it may lead to other prior owners.
