Yhere was a whole set of books written including several that were devoted to showing it wasn't O'Malley but Moses. I don't remember exact locations but none of them were very palatable as Moses was determined that the proper location for the Dodgers was the Stadium he intended to build in Flusing Meadow.Howeverf to this day, I feel there were/are two locations that would have worked real well but apparently were never considered. One was Floyd Bennet Field.....good highway access but of course no rapid transit access (thank yoou for not building the extensions of the Nostrrand Avenue line and the Utica Avenue line.) Or...as MCU (aka Keyspan) Stadium has proven, Coney Island would have been awesome. Just picture a major league baseball stadium during a warm summer night with the Atlantic Ocen as a backdrop to right field. No it was never considered but the succdess of the Cyclones shows it might have worked (and of course you have the Stillwell Avenue subway terminal a couple of blocks away as well as the Belt Parkway). Hindsigh is so good, isn't it. |
