"The Bay Parkways, one of the Bushwick's oldest rivals and one of the founder clubs of the Metropolitan Baseball Association ... have compiled a good record at their home park, Erasmus Field, and are loathe to travel, but the rivalry with the Bushwicks is historic and so the series is maintained. Invariably these games generate flashy, fine baseball. The Parkways have been troublemakers for the Bushwicks for years ..." - Brooklyn Daily Eagle, July 5, 1939
