Albany Senators in Joe Steele[]
Reporter Mike Sullivan attended a minor league game between the Albany Senators and the New Haven Profs a few hours before an arson fire at the New York State Executive Mansion killed Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt in July 1932. Sullivan reflected on the recent resignation of New York Giants manager John J. McGraw as a consequence of that teams poor season when he realized that the crowd at the Senators-Profs game was probably larger than the ones attending the Giants games.[1]
