 After the Highlanders allowed the Giants to play at Hilltop Park when the latter's home stadium, the Polo Grounds, was undergoing reconstruction from a fire, the Giants invited the Highlanders to share the Polo Grounds with them.Since the Highlanders were no longer playing at higher elevations, they changed their name to the New York Yankees.The Dodgers also opened up their new field, Ebbets Field, in Brooklyn.
