Jackie Robinson was part of the story "Uncle" Nick told me. I think that may be it. I am going to have to get ahold of him, and see if he can verify this. I think he still lives there. He's actually a sports writer. Strange that this thread stired up these memories. I must have been 10 or so when I was there. I will do some research myself, and see if he can maybe help me out with photos and what not. Could be a good story.

Jim, you might know the answer to this. In Jersey City, right across from NYC, there was a baseball field at one time. I'm not sure if it was pro, minors, negro leagues, or what, but now it is the site of some condo's. Around the outskirts of the condo's, and overlooking the water, there is a walking path that supposedly was the border of the old stadium. They have seats from the old stadium for resting. The reason I ask is because I know someone who lived in those condo's when I was a kid, and I walked this trail. He told me who played there, but I don't remember, and I haven't seen him in ages to ask. Do you know the name of the stadium, and who played there? If I get a name, it's something I'd consider writing about, but I don't even know where to start.

I think it's someone giving his league away to someone from his website

Does anyone know how to create a League? It would be cool if we could get all the teams together for a season of ass kicking.

Thanks, I saw too many NY teams, and got confused. How about the Troy Trojans? ;D

Should have asked this before I sent my PM, but did the Mets ever go by a different name? If so, should those players on the other named teams be included?

I don't remember who it was, but it's a pretty sweet accomplishment.

I'd like to see their percentage compared to some of the teams that haven't been around for so long. I'm sure that it's just a play more lose more scenario.

Thanks rzobb, that's what we need. The more people that do this, the better the community becomes.

alchy, instead of being critical, why don't you go do some recruiting on other sites. The more the merrier.
