60 Hannah St firehouse MLB baseball history:
There is a piece of baseball history associated with this firehouse. Bobby Thompson, the baseball player who hit the famous "Shot Heard Around the World" home run to win the 1951 pennant for the NY Giants, lived on Staten Island. He went to this firehouse to celebrate immediately after he won the NL championship at the Polo Grounds.
The walk off home run, one of the most famous in baseball, won the third game of a rare NL pennant playoffs (no playoff system back then). The Giants, were down 13 1/2 games in August and were trailing 4-1 in the 9th inning. It became the "Miracle of Coogan's Bluff." After he hit the walk off home run, Thompson took the SI ferry to celebrate with his brother Jim, who was on duty with E154. Jim Thompson's son, Jimmy, also became an FDNY captain.
Travis, Staten Island:
Engine 154 protects a large area of western SI. It is first due in the Travis and Bulls Head sections of SI. Travis was originally called Linoleumville - the site of America's first linoleum factory in the 1860s. It was the location of a ferry to NJ at the end of Victory Blvd. The area was renamed Travis in 1930 after an original area settler.
1981 movie scenes from "Splendor in the Grass" were filmed in Travis, vicinity of E 154 quarters
