The owner of the baseball NY Giants at that time, Horace Stoneham, was originally going to move the team to Minneapolis, until Walter O'Malley persuaded him to relocate to the West Coast. There had to be two teams in close proximity with one another, in order for the move to be successful. You can't have just ONE team on the West Coast, with the closest team nearby, being so FAR away in St. Louis.O'Malley was losing money on an old, crumbling relic. So was Stoneham. There was no way both teams would stay in NY, given the circumstances that existed at the time. Robert Moses had a lot to do with that. What's done is done. |
