Not only the Polo Grounds, but Ebbets Field as well.

In his entire 22-year career, the only stadiums aside from his homefields (Sportsman Park and Busch-Memorial Stadium) in which Musial had an OPS of 1.000 or more were in New York City ........ the Polo Grounds (1.071) and Ebbets Field (1.108.)

Asked by New York writers whether he would miss the Polo Grounds, Musial replied, “Yes. The Polo Grounds makes a hero or a bum out of you. It can throw you into a terrible batting slump if you try to pull too much. It can give you the toughest out on the longest drives anywhere and the cheapest home runs. I’ve had my good years here and others not so good, but overall I’ve been fortunate. I’ll miss the park and the fans and the city’s legitimate theater, too.”
