Small Market Hero's Invade The House that Ruth Built [edited]
Editor-in-Chief just scored us Twins tickets at Yankee stadium next week! I've never been before and this is the last chance to see the park. Think Yankees fans will dump beer all over me for cheering for my small market hero's?
This is a cool shot of Joe Mauer at the All star game this week.

Note - I was corrected when I posted the title as "Small Market Hero's Invade the Polo Grounds." That is just flat wrong. Then again, I don't really care. After a Twins sweep, who will quibble over a nickname?

Somebody needs to learn yer *ss some NY/baseball history!!
The Polo Grounds was the name given to four different stadiums in Manhattan, New York City used by baseball's New York Giants from 1883 until 1957, New York Metropolitans from 1880 until 1885, the New York Yankees from 1912 until 1922, and by the New York Mets in their first two seasons of 1962 and 1963. It also hosted the 1934 and 1942 Major League Baseball All-Star Games.
The original Polo Grounds was built in 1876 for the sport of polo, thus accounting for its name. It was the only one of the four structures that was actually used for polo. The field was originally referred to in newspapers simply as "the polo grounds", and over time this generic designation became a proper name. It was converted to a baseball stadium when leased by the New York Metropolitans in 1880. The stadium was used jointly by the Giants and Metropolitans from 1883 until 1885, and the name stuck for each subsequent stadium of the Giants.
The fourth and final Polo Grounds, which the Giants used until they moved to San Francisco after the 1957 season, and which the Mets used until Shea Stadium was completed in 1964, was the most famous, and is the one most people mean when they refer to the Polo Grounds. The name "Polo Grounds" did not actually appear prominently on any of the stadiums, until the Mets posted it with a large sign in 1962.
