Introduction
In 1920, the New York Yankees began playing their home games at the Polo Grounds, which was also home to the New York Giants baseball team. The following year, the Yankees moved to Yankee Stadium, which was constructed across the street from the Polo Grounds. The stadium was originally built for $2.5 million and seated 58,000 fans.
Ebbets Field
Ebbets Field was a Major League Baseball stadium in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn, New York. It is known mainly as the home of the Brooklyn Dodgers baseball team of the National League, from 1913 to 1957, but was also home to three National Football League teams in the 1920s.
The stadium hosted the Dodger’s first game on April 10, 1913. The first recorded no-hitter in Ebbets Field history occurred on September 16, 1920, when Brooklyn’s Clarence Mitchell no-hit the Philadelphia Phillies, 3–0. Jimmy Johnston’s unassisted triple play during the same game is also believed to be the first in MLB history.
