Cartoon Baseball

Manny's Baseball Land the sports memorabilia place are they still in business? Do they have a website?

I got a few items from them from their catalog. But I live abroad now and can't seem to locate them via the web.

1. FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES: From the 1940's through the 1970's, two generations of Yankee fans said, "Meet me at Manny's." That would be Manny's Baseball Land, across the street from the Yankee Stadium bleachers on River Avenue in the Bronx. Manny's was the place you bought your pennants and programs ("I used to hawk them on the corner," says Manny's daughter, LISA ). But in 1978, MANNY KOENIGSBERG retired to Las Vegas, Nev., and the business moved to New Jersey, first to Cliffside Park, then to Hackensack. Next Saturday, they'll close the doors. The mail-order part of the business is so big, they don't need a store anymore. So Lisa ("You don't need my second name, 'Manny's daughter' will do"), now the president, will move the operation to Hobe Sound, Fla., with her 800 phone number: PRO-TEAM. "The whole licensing industry has gotten so big; that's what people want," she said. "The business has changed." But dialing an 800 telephone number will never substitute for leafing through black-and-white MANTLE photos, or trying on a cap with the overlapping N and Y.
