Harvard Eddie: 1911

There is a street in the Bronx called Edward L Grant Highway, running from 167th Street and Jerome Avenue (a few blocks from Yankee Stadium) up to the Cross Bronx Expressway. I believe it is also known as University Avenue, which led to the NYU Bronx Campus, where the NYU Hall of Fame is located. I think the campus has been shut down for many years and don't know if the Hall of Fame is still operational.

Somewhat the flavor, feel and appearance of the original "Field of Dreams."

I think the Giants would be wise to replace his missing plaque: http://www.worldwar1.com/tgws/thismonthgrant.htm
