The old Arlington Hotel, located across the street on the Arlington Lawn, was the site of the arrest of New York Giants manager John “Mugsy” McGraw after a U.S. Marshal caught him pitching silver dollars into a saloon basket for unlawful gambling, and he was later released. The current Arlington, built in 1924, has hosted baseball notables including Babe Ruth, Lefty Grove, Hank Greenberg, Jimmie Foxx, and Joe DiMaggio.
