Metropolitan
Transportation Authority BusTalk "Take Me Out to the
Ballgame! The Subway Series in the Life
of New York City" Bus Advertising. From June 14 through
September 22, 2001 the New York Transit
Museum in Manhattan featured an Exhibition of the
history of baseballs subway series, on
view at the museum's Grand Central
Terminal annex.
With help from the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, the
Transit Museum had put together a
display of memorabilia and photographs
recalling the legendary intercity
rivalries that pitted the Yankees, New
York Giants and Brooklyn Dodgers
against one another before the Giants
and Dodgers left for California in
1957. Public transportation carried
fans, and sometimes players, from the
Bronx to Coogan's Bluff in Manhattan
and to Brooklyn, and the Mets and
Yankees revived the tradition in 2000,
when the teams met in the World Series
for the first time.
The exhibition included such iconic items as spikes worn by Babe Ruth and
Casey Stengel, a bat used by Lou
Gehrig, a glove owned by Joe DiMaggio,
a photo of Willie Mays playing stick
ball in Harlem, World Series programs,
Ebbets Field seats and the defunct
ballparks home plate. A cover of
sheet
music of "Take Me Out To The Ball Game"
was
also displayed at the exhibit. The
lyrics were written on the Ninth Avenue
El.
The advertisement pictures Roy Campanella, and Yogi Berra at Yankee
Stadium during the 1953 World Series.
