History: Only four years after Jackie Robinson began his organized baseball career at Roosevelt Stadium, the city of Jersey City had fallen on hard times, and it was the last hurrah for this storied minor league franchise. It did not help when the Yankees began televising games, as minor league fans began staying home in droves to watch baseball on the tube.

History: As the Double-A affiliate for the New York Giants, the ‘51 Millers began the season with a star young centerfielder named Willie Mays (#8). In only 35 games, Mays became so popular in Minneapolis that when the Giants called him up to the Major Leagues, the club took out ads in the local Minneapolis newspaper apologizing to local fans for taking away their young phenom, who would go on to win the 1951 National League Rookie of the Year.
