"The John J. McGraw Memorial Monument in Truxton is a tribute to hometown hero and 30-year manager (1902-1932) of the New York Giants baseball organization. Nearby is Truxton's McGraw Field, site of a rare midseason exhibition game played in August, 1934, between the NY Giants and the Truxton Giants to raise money for this monument. Billed as the “Greatest Sporting Event in Cortland County,” the game attracted between 8,000 and 10,000 spectators at $1.10/ticket. The Truxton Giants did not win, of course, but managed to score a run in the bottom of the ninth against the mighty NY Giants, final score 8-1."
