Chris Epting is author of 14 books, including Images of America: Huntington Beach, Then & Now: Huntington Beach, and Roadside Baseball. The Polo Grounds is one of baseball’s most sacred ballparks. Built below Coogan’s Bluff in 1891, the bathtub-shaped stadium played host to iconic baseball moments, including Willie Mays’s famous catch in the 1954 World Series and Bobby Thomson’s “shot heard ’round the world.” The era before those moments holds a history all its own, when the New York Giants, Yankees, and the football Giants shared the park. The dawn of the 20th century through the 1920s is a rarely seen chapter in Polo Grounds history, and it is presented here for the first time in all of its photographic glory.

There will be a Q & A session with the author following the presentation.

Dr. Gary Hermalyn, Executive Director of the Bronx County Historical Society, and Anthony C. Greene, Education Director of the Bronx Historical Society, present a rare pictorial history of the Bronx’s Yankee Stadium. Designed to be the grandest, most impressive and intimidating sports arena ever, the stadium’s mystique and grandeur have been exponentially enhanced by championship boxing matches, professional and college football, Negro League games, papal visits, and the New York Yankees baseball club’s iconic reputation as the gold standard of professional team sports. Yankee Stadium has also been a witness to the 20th-century development of the Bronx from a small suburb to a large urban borough, thus forging a special and complex relationship with its hometown.

There will be a Q & A session with the authors following the presentation.
