EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in baseball history - the final out of the New York Giants' last game at the Polo Grounds. The image freezes time as Dusty Rhodes, a player for the Giants, is thrown out at first base during their 9-1 loss against the Pittsburgh Pirates on September 29,1957. The stadium stands tall in the background, its iconic clock serving as a reminder that this historic chapter is coming to an end. The atmosphere depicted in this photograph is bittersweet. A crowd of 11,606 fans fills the stands, witnessing both disappointment and nostalgia as they bid farewell to their beloved team. The outfield stretches before them, while billboards dotting the field remind spectators of past victories and future dreams. As Dusty Rhodes races towards first base with determination etched on his face, an umpire watches closely to make sure every rule is followed. This image encapsulates not only a single play but also symbolizes transition and change - as if capturing both an ending and a new beginning. Soon after this game, Major League Baseball would see the birth of another team: The San Francisco Giants. As players like Rhodes moved westward to continue their careers under sunny California skies, this print serves as a poignant reminder of how sports can unite communities and leave lasting memories behind.
