I am 74 years old which makes me 10 years old the year Jackie Robinson joined the team in 1947. From that time until January 1956 when I went into the military I was a die hard Bums fan. Still have a photo of the 1955 team in my den and balls signed by Duke and Sandy in my living room wall unit. Have model of Ebetts Field and statues of the nine players of the 1955 team which my son bought me for one birthday, I haave a ball cap given to children attending game as a souvenir. Miss Bklyn.

@Mr3271937 thats so cool my uncle used to go there for a school trip once and a while and he met Gil Hodges. He always tells me stories about the games and im 14 and i love basebal and i live in manhatten and i miss the dodgers even though i never got to thee them play my uncle has made me feel like i did. My dad also lived down the block from Ebbets but he wasnt born yet before the stadium was torn down

My Dad was the Team Dentist for the Brooklyn Dodgers. I was 6 years old when the Dodgers left Brooklyn and my whole family was invited to move to LA with the team but my Mom didn't want to leave Brooklyn, so we stayed in Brooklyn. Walter O'Malley was a man ahead of his time - he wanted to build a Domed Stadium in Brooklyn - but the Big "Mac" (Robert M.) insisted that the new stadium be built in Queens. The Dodgers belonged in Brooklyn and were forced out by the Big Mac who ruined it all!

0:41 (1941 National League Champions! I hear my borough went nuts when that happened)--BROOKLYN, YOU BASTARDS!!!!! :D

I dare anybody to come out here and say something positive about o'malley. Trust...you probably will not be standing up very long. :-)

[BrooklynEagle]

0:10--man, I'm telling 'ya...we should still have that right now in 2011. The great Ebbets Field should be standing on this cool and windy East Coast offseason day (12/28/2011), and the tarp should be on the field right now, keeping it in positive shape for the 2012 season. That fat-ass PIG o'malley fucked us really good, man. Our Bums (mind you, I wasn't around for those "Boys of Summer" years. I'm only a 29-year old Yanks fan) should still be here--WITH US!--in BK.

It's all gravy, though...

[BrooklynEagle]

...We have the Nets (Brooklyn Nets!!!!!) coming here in October 2012. (Thanks, Jay! That's a man 100-times better than walter o'malley.) Barclays Center ("The Bar") is almost done. And we're just about ready, son! I know I'm ready. I'm getting ready to sell all of my orange & royal blue Knickerbockers crap! :D Watch, we will turn those modern bums (Brooklyn's basketball bums!) into winners again (they've already won two basketball titles back in the 70's as the ABA's N.Y. Nets). WATCH! 2016!!!!!

@MSavage59 because the main entrance has the looks of Ebbets Field

[Rollman1]

@turkeytonite Ebbets Field Apts. a great place to live at first viebrint community life You could see half of Brooklyn if you lived on the higher up floors. The Bldg . sponsored Boy Scout and Cub Scout troops I lived there from 1963 till 1968 It was miss managed then became that welfare tower . These days when i see it in a pic. i think of the theme song from the show Good Times

I was born & raised in Los Angeles and when the Dodgers came west, in 1958, I was 11. It wasn't until 35 years later, when I had formed The Committee To Elect Gil Hodges Into Baseball's Hall of Fame, that I began to realize what the Dodgers had meant to Brooklyn. It was, obviously, a love affair between the fans and the Dodgers. I only wish that I could have been a young man, living in Brooklyn, during the late 40's and 1950's. I suspect it would have been baseball Heaven. Love you Gil....

A man named Modell tried to do this kind of thing to the NFL' Cleveland Browns.. it was wrong. Thankfully we somehow stopped him from taking the name, history and colors. These things become a part of your soul.
