@therealjoebloggs The facts aren't exactly as you say, but the McKeever/Ebbets impasse allowed Walter O'Malley (who started out as a lawyer for The Brooklyn Trust Company) to do a little self-dealing. Attorney Walter Shea (a la Shea Stadium) loved the Dodgers and hated O'Malley. Shea once said that "Walter couldn't argue a parking ticket."

The music could have been "Follow The Dodgers" or "Brooklyn Roads." "
New York State of Mind" is a Yankees song.

I wish we could have the Brooklyn Dodgers again. Why not trade the Mets for the Dodgers?
-
Just great.

Roy Campanella and Jackie Robinson!

The Dodgers were owned for years by the Ebbets family, who never agreed on anything and were always looking to sue each other. The lawyer who handled Charles Ebbets's will and probate, who caused this state of affairs, ended up having to buy the club in order to rectify the damage he'd done. That shyster was one Walter O'Malley. One wonders who the modern-day equivalent will be who will end all the silliness in the Dodger Divorce Wars.

Best footage I have seen. Very nice . Thanks for posting enjoyed it very much!

This is such a great nostalgic video. Could you imagine if the Dodgers had remained in Brooklyn after the 1957 season, the Brooklyn fans would have cheered on one of their own in Sandy Koufax, and seen their bums win three more World Series in 59, 63 and 65.

That famous "Jackie trying to steal home photo" shows that the umpire blew the call.
I'm not a Yankee, Giant, or Dodger fan . . . but Robinson was clearly "out" on this
play. Yogi tore into the ump afterwards, 'cause he knew that he had 'em.

My Grandfather would of enjoyed this. He passed away in 1997 before youtube was invented or thought of. He was born (1925) and raised in Greenpoint. Through his life he always remained a Brooklyn fan but became a Mets fan.
