O'Malley was considered the main reason for the Dodgers goin west, back then anyway. Moses & Wagners role in the re-location did'nt come out until later. One of the sites I remember hearing about the possible new Ebbets field location was in the Red Hook area, but that was shot down because planners envisioned a shopping center in that area & that idea was shot down.O'Malley was quoted as saying If I were to move my team to Flushing, might as well move to Los Angeles. Talk about arrogance In 1958, story goes that you ask anyone in Brooklyn who were the 3 most hated men on the plannet, the answer you'd get would be Afolf Hitler, Josef Stalin & Walter O'Malley, maybe not neccessarily in that order. |
