You know that team that the Mets were created to replace? No, the other one. The one that played in Manhattan and won more World Series than any other National League team in New York ever has.
I’m talking about the New York Giants – the baseball team that left for San Francisco after 1957.
Well, apparently there are still some fans of that team around, including 79 year old Kenneth Kelleher. Tonight Mr. Kelleher will attend his first Giants home game since 1957 when his son Ken (a Mets fan as are the rest of the family) takes him to a Giants game in San Francisco.
The full story can be read here.
It sure would be nice if the 2 teams recognized this family in some way tonight.
