    Don't forget why Walter O'Malley came to visit LA, bc Roz Weiner insisted LA have a baseball team. She also got the Giants to get moving West as well. O'Malley never wanted to leave Brooklyn.

    Shocking. They really kept this story under wraps. When I was 7 I moved to LA in 1958 from NYC the same year the Dodgers moved from Brooklyn. I went to see the Dodgers as kid at the Colosseum and remember when the Chavez Ravine ballpark opened in '62 to great fanfare. Angelino's were fanatical baseball fans in those days and the Dodgers were a great team in this period.

      Yeah, I lived in the LA area from 1958 to 1973. Went to a lot of Dodger games.
      Never knew the story of the forced evictions.

    MotoMan got it wrong. The Angels did not play in Dodger Stadium its first five years. The 1st year (1961) they played at Wrigley Field, the old home of the PCL Angels (42nd and Avalon). Then 4 years at Dodger Stadium (1962-65).

    Actually, Walter O'Malley wooed the city of Los Angeles into allowing him to move here, not the other way around like this dummy in the video declares. Brooklyn, New York was fast becoming an aging neighborhood of New York City, caused O'Malley to seek greener pastures(New York City politics contributed to the Dodgers & Giants moving to California as well).

    • @TheWhoQuad
      @TheWhoQuad 5 років тому +2

      True and Robert Moses (Huge Developer in N.Y) was forcing O'Malley to move his team to Queens. O'Malley explored his options and moved to L.A. - The Giants did the same thing as the Polo Grounds were falling apart. No National League team in N.Y. until the Mets, who took took their colors from the Dodgers (Blue) and Giants (Orange).
