Agreed.......I still say that if there is no immoral offer from the LA city government on the table, they take the Shea Stadium site. The reality is the more you look at it, the more it becomes apparent it was the answer given what was happening to the portion of the Dodger fan base to which O'Malley wished to appeal (middle class and upper class white people). This hog wash well it's not Brooklyn was only uttered by him when he had the LA offer in his pocket and knew he was leaving (again, the deal was sealed after the Dodgers junket to Japan after the 1956 World Series when he helicoptered over Chavez Ravine and told LA city officials he was definitely coming and not to take seriously anything he said as he still had to lie to the people in NYC to protect as much of the gate as possible).I defy anybody to tell me the Shea Stadium site was not perfect and as I've said, big deal it wasn't in Brooklyn. Queens and Brooklyn are contiguous portions of the same land mass i.e. Long Island. As a matter of fact at one time you knew you hhad crossed from Brooklyn to Queens when the street signs changed from white lettering on black to blue lettering on white. Now they've even taken that distinction away. |
