  • Spring Training NY Giants
    NY Giants Spring Photo Collection of C & H Training By Sam A. Christopher John D. Rockefeller Estate, Lakewood, NJ n a bright, sunny Sunday early in March 1943, more than O1,200 Lakewood area folks descended on the downtown train depot. The turnout wasn’t for the grand opening of a hotel in the winter resort, nor was it to see heavyweight-boxing champion, Joe Louis train. It was an auspicious, warm welcome for the New York Giants baseball team for their World War II spring training in 1943, 1944 and 1945 in town. What a reception – one that made headlines in the New York region sports pages. Mel Ott, Carl Hubbell, Ernie Lombardi and Joe (Ducky Wucky) Medwick, all were later enshrined in the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. I was the luckiest boy in town. A sophomore at Lakewood High School, I got to “cover” the Giants for the Lakewood Daily Times with sporadic stories, supplementing my writing the high school sports. A high point was chatting with Mel Ott in the locker room. He was the last Giant to finish cleaning up after a practice at the old John D. Rockefeller Estate, the team’s spring home. “Can I help you, son?” Ott asked. After stumbling for words I conversed with the Giants right fielder/manager. The Louisiana native was kind and gracious. His career high 511 home runs, was the record in the National League until broken by Willie Mays in 1966. Ott spent his entire 22-year base- ball career with the Giants and was the National Lea- gues leading homer hitter from 1937 until Mays came Photo Collection of C & H along.
