Building the city’s first subway in the early years of the twentieth century required delicate collaboration between public and private interests and called for the expenditure of considerable sums of both public and private money.
It was Hewitt who realized that, while private capital alone had been perfectly adequate for building elevated rapid transit lines in New York as early as the 1870s, the more costly construction of underground rapid transit lines was far beyond the ability of private corporations to finance.
Hewitt set in motion a chain of events that sanctioned the use of public funds for subway construction, with the completed facility then to be leased to a private company for day-to-day operation.

The Yankees moved to their own stadium in the Bronx for the 1923 classic, and from there the battle lines were drawn, with games alternating between Yankee Stadium and either the Polo Grounds or Brooklyn’s Ebbetts Field, and later Shea Stadium in Queens.
