On this day in 1903, the leadership of the well-established National League and the three-year-old upstart American League met to talk unity and the reconciling of rules. Two important outcomes of the meeting were the creation of the World Series and a 15-1 vote to install an American League franchise in New York (the lone dissenter was John T. Bush, whose National League New York Giants had enjoyed a near-monopoly over the city).
Shortly after, the flagging Baltimore Oriole franchise was purchased, uprooted, and imported to New York City by the (logical) duo of Frank Farrell, a pool-hall and gambling kingpin, and William Deverey, a former Police Chief.

Never Forget?
Who could forget that perfect September morning?
How could anyone forget the sound of a jet roaring in just above the buildings of lower Manhattan?
Who could forget the way the world literally shook when it slammed into Tower 2?
Who could forget the blue September sky snowing?
Who could forget that looking into the gaping wounds of Towers 1 and 2 and the fires that filled them made you feel as if you must be staring straight into hell?
Who could forget the people jumping and thinking how horrific it must have been to pick that as the better option?
Who could forget the heroism of the NYFD and NYPD and all the Emergency Service workers who sped by in what seemed like an endless parade… (more…)
