Lost Ballparks
"Lost Ballparks", with Mike Koser, is a podcast that takes you on a journey to the golden age of baseball's lost ballparks as told by the players, broadcasters, batboys, clubhouse managers, groundskeepers, umpires and fans who provide firsthand accounts of what it was like to spend a summer afternoon at Ebbets Field, the Polo Grounds, Forbes Field, Yankee Stadium, Comiskey Park, Crosley Field and many more.

Jerry Schwab (Polo Grounds 1946-1957)
Jerry Schwab is my guest on this months Lost Ballparks podcast. From 1946-1957, Jerry and his family lived in an apartment underneath the LF grandstands at the Polo Grounds. His Dad, Matty was the head groundskeeper for the New York Giants. His story is a rare glimpse into a world that few have ever seen; personal relationships with legends of the game, hidden passages, tunnels beneath the stands and the dugouts and clubhouses where history was written.
