Baseball has been very special for my family. In fact, my late dad's longtime professional baseball team - St. Louis Cardinals have actually come from brink to force game 7 of World Series against Rangers. Most would agree it was one of the best championship ball games they had ever watched a professional team play.
Those incredible Cardinals have pulled off improbable rallies, with a home field advantage, right in their own ballpark by winning in the most inspiring fashion.

Electric streetcars, horse-drawn omnibuses and steam-powered elevated trains could carry passengers only limited distances. Manhattan Island north of Greenwich Village was the suburbs and anything much farther out than that was country, certainly impractical for a regular commute.
