Part 4/8:
The Polo Grounds underwent several transformations, with each version holding its own unique significance. The original structure was ultimately dismantled in 1889 to make way for urban development, but the spirit of the Polo Grounds lived on with its subsequent iterations.
The second version returned the Giants to Polo Grounds in 1889 and even hosted a modern World Series in 1905. Yet, by 1911, disaster struck as a fire destroyed much of the stadium. This prompted a reconstruction, leading to the third version which opened later that year, showcasing updated structures that would last for decades.
