Horace Stoneham - stupid old drunk.
My first baseball game with my Dad was Giants vs. Cubs at the Polo Grounds.
Whitey Lockman hit 2 home runs.
My mother was a Dodger fan (mixed marriage).
Growing up in The Bronx, I was a Yankee fan. As such, the only other NYC team that I hated was the Brooklyn Dodgers. Kind of had a positive feeling towards the NY Giants. My Dad took me to see a Giant game at the Polo Grounds once. That was the strangest looking baseball field I have ever seen. Reminded me of a horseshoe. As I understand it, the Polo Grounds was built for polo, but it never was player there. Go figure.
Schaefer Beer (IIRC) used an animated beer bottle - “Quartzie” - as a mascot. That was my nickname.
