If the Dodgers could've got the land around the Atlantic Ave. LIRR station, which was available, they would've stayed and built on it. Robert Moses sandbagged O'Malley completely. The Dodgers could come back, but play where? Coney Island? (They were offered that area back in the mid-50's, so why would they play there now?) Times change, people move on. Those that posted that Brooklyn isn't the same people are right. Those fans are long gone to the suburbs or farther.

times do change and the amusement park, at coney is facing dire consequences.....the dodgers also played in NJ....it hasn't hurt the giants and Jets who still call themselves the "New York" excetras....even horace stonham thought of moving the giants back in the 70's.....his Ideal location was where the meadow lands now stand.....baseball is hurting....football has taken it's spot.......only a radical move will infuse baseball with what it needs.....enough money and anything can happen..

I reccomend reading "After many a sumer" by Robert Murphy.....it's not as cut and dry over the Atlantic avenue site as one might think...

well, when it comes to baseball, or most sports for that matter, i am totally clueless. but i thought the pics were great. one important thing about baseball is hotdogs. i have been to phillies and cincinatti reds and bluerocks games and the hotdogs suck. america should be embarrased that bluejays fans get a better hotdog for less money. hotdogs are american. we should serve the best.

[drakghoulie]

Yup, we should have the best....it's about the chepest dog for most dough..............it's a disgrace......

@misterdirtyknees - terrific post! I well remember those trackless trolleys that we had in Brooklyn bad in the day. It was always fun to see kids doing that as I was too much of a scaredy cat to do it myself!

@drakghoulie They can never return...The New York Mets and The New York Yankees hold territorial rights over the area...and there is NO WAY either team would OK a 3rd Major League team in the area..Least of all, the Dodgers.

Look at those young whippersnappers hitching a ride on the back of that bus at 2:22. I see you young punks!

0:35 No...there was not a shooter positioned in the grassy knoll beyond the fence. Only a rumor.

Is there a way to buy a copy of this song to download on a CD?

[BootPatrol]

I believe that was Edwin Snider, "The Duke of Flatbush", at 1:16.

Don't get fooled by these "Los Angeles" Imposters who called themselves "The Dodgers". Remember this, "The Dodgers" are all about "big business" and money. The Franchise left "Brooklyn". "The Dodgers" cared less about History and Tradition. If that is really the case, "The Organization' should of stayed in Brooklyn.

[Signal337]

The team playing at "Chaves Ravine" in Los Angeles is nothing like the "Original Dodgers" of Brooklyn. Tommy Lasorda should know better. Los Angeles stole "The Dodgers". Los Angeles true baseball team is "The Angels".

@nightskytube Yes, they do take the subway to Queens or the South Bronx. Some of them even drive. And what happens in the rest of the country is irrelevant. New Yorkers are not going to come flocking back to the Dodgers just because they come back, no matter how many midwesterners might wear Brooklyn Dodgers hats as fashion statements. Kids in England wear Yankees hats as fashion statements too. That doesn't mean they know who Alfredo Aceves -- or even Joe Girardi -- is.

@MikeChuk21

I've got to seriously disagree with this. Dodgers would find plenty of fans. Where do Brooklyn high school kids see baseball games?  Subway thru Manhattan to Queens or S Bx. Brooklyn is still a storied borough. When I travel the country, I see more Brooklyn Dodger hats than Mets hats!
