Sullivan. Despite a career spanning only 24 bouts, Corbett faced the best competition his era had to offer; squaring off with a total of nine fighters who would later be enshrined alongside himself in the International Boxing Hall of Fame.

Postcards from Bayside
The Bayside Historical Society is pleased to annouce our inaugural online exhibition featuring early 20th Century post cards of Bayside from our archival collection. Information for the descriptions of the post cards were culled from various sources including, but not limited to, our archival repository, early newspaper articles, the Fort Totten Historic District Designation Report of 1999 as well as online resources including www.nyc.gov for information regarding our parks. We hope you take the time to explore Bayside through these post cards and discover the many wonderful places that existed, and in several instances, still exist today.
