A Stadium for the Yanks & Giants

[LouGehrig]

Immediately following Walter O’Malley’s announcement that the Dodgers would play seven regular season games in Jersey City during the 1956 season, New York Giants’ owner Horace Stoneham reminded folks that his team also could use a new baseball facility. Mr. Stoneham suggested that city-owned should be constructed in the East Bronx, near the Whitestone Bridge to house his Giants as well as the New York Yankees. The suggestion surprised the Yankees completely.

I doubt that the Yankees would have ever had any interest in helping out the Giants and Dodgers.
