I honestly think the diamondbacks winning in 2001 put them in sports hell. That city is never gonna win a championship for that lol

The unsaid part. Many white fans in Brooklyn did not like the fact that Jackie Robinson changed the demographic of the attendance of the games. It went from almost all white, to 50 percent black (negro). This made the move easier. This was back when America was great.

“ LOS MOSTACHONES D OAKLAND “ mi equipo faborito de 1969 a 1974. grazie pour le aporte , salutez desde AGUASCALIENTES CITY, MEXICO .

Joe Torre won 4 World Series titles all with the Yankees and Dusty Baker finally helped the Astros win a World Series title in 2022. Gene Mauch was sadly the most cursed manager who never managed in a World Series.

Free agency has damaged baseball. When I was growing up in the late 60s-early 70s if you had a favorite team you could follow that team and know their players but with free agency each year the team roster would usually completely change by the spring and it was hard to form a bond with any player/team.

Good vid

Crazy how in California they destroy a community claiming to build public housing then get a baseball stadium and Brooklyn they destroy a baseball stadium to build public housing

Most people in country especially in East and Southeast part of US cannot understand how in the world that could have happened. Especially in SE where sports is huge and supported by the people big time look at the success of SEC in every sport unreal especially college football.

They were really good. If not for free agency the A's of 70's would have probably won at least 6 or 7 WS titles in that decade. At would have played in that many . They became a national sensation like the Raiders were at same time it's shame that city of Oakland lost these two incredible franchises.

My father worked in the Greenpoint section of Brooklyn and told us he used to see different Dodgers driving home after their games. He said Campanella was a crazy driver and remarked some day he would be in a terrible accident. I’m still aDodger fan.

What about Jeff Bagwell? He’s in the HOF now too and I remember his name was mentioned in the steroid scandal

By far best era of baseball so far.

Money is why they moved duh

Dude! Your narration and production were excellent. Go (Los Angeles) Dodgers!

CitiField is a reincarnation of Ebbitts Field

That’s not the full story of the Chavez ravine neighborhood….

No one goes to ball games to watch strike outs.

Nice video. Thanks. Jackie Robinson retired at the end of the 1956 season. The Dodgers were trading him to the Giants, and he retired rather than switch teams at that point in his career.

It would be great for MLB marketing for the Dodgers to move back to Brooklyn and LA just get there own expansion Team to replace the Dodgers also Philadelphia to get a 2nd MLB Team like the days when Philadelphia had the A's and Phillies playing in Philadelphia. Last it would also be great if MLB had a Champions League sort of like European Soccer where the best Teams in each league play in a Champions League format in this case it would most likely be the best MLB Teams playing against the best Japanese Club Teams in a Tournament style format every year.

2 grown mens ego's, white flight, and a parking lot cost brooklyn and NYC a beloved team and a hole that the Mets have yet to fill. Brooklyn Dodgers turned into the LA dodgers is the softest name change ever is sports.

Long story short: Walter O’Malley wanted a new stadium built in Brooklyn where the Barclays Center is today, Robert Moses refused to give O’Malley the land. Robert Moses counter-offered O’Malley with land in Flushing Meadows (where Citi Field is now), but O’Malley refused saying “Either we play in Brooklyn, or else we leave New York altogether.” Moses calls O’Malley on his bluff, and the Dodgers leave for Los Angeles.

One place in Jersey you must drive to. And a 30 to 40 min walk back to your car!!!

They weren't called the Dodgers until 1933. They went through numerous names before...the Brooklyn Atlantics, the Brooklyn Superbas...the 1916 and '20 WS they were the Brooklyn Robins...etc.

Injuries.

All I can say Rober Moses, Thank you for kicking the dodgers out to la.

I thought they were the Brooklyn Robins until 1927?

I can almost guarantee the dodgers will win at least 4 more World Series in the next six or seven years

Great Video!!!

I'm glad the Yankees have been on the decline. It's long overdue

Hmmm... 12:45 Jackie Robinson retired at the end of the 1956 season, fifty-SIX.

They tired of competing with the giants & Yankees?

I never cared and still don't. Take steroids

It's not cheating if everyone is doing it

My fav Mets fact is that the Mets, who have the best opening day record in baseball, won the World Series before winning an opening day game

‘62 Mets ain’t the worst in history ANYMORE!

2:25 Vietnam spotted 🇻🇳

I find it hilarious that he would call them Mexican immigrants in El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora La Reina de Los Angeles. I guess he doesn’t know California History.

I'm not sure what Jackie Robinson had to do with the move. All the credit was given to Robert Moses for Shea Stadium and the National League for creating the mets and the stadium. So much more to that story and William Shea's involvement. The story even involves the Denver Broncos football team.

A-Rod swatting the ball was the start of the Yankees downfall.

I doubt you were even born when the dynasty began, and were probably not even old enough to see anything but the tail end of Derek Jeter’s career.

The racial demographics of Brooklyn we're changing by the mid 1950s. Those demographics weren't going to support the Dodgers like L.A. would

Have to put speed back at like .75 way too fast

I’m sure Yankees fans love that elongated “theeeee Yankees win” but it sounds so bizarre to me.

I find it laughable that in a sport where fans can literally interfere with gameplay, every park has different dimensions, owners are actually permitted to move the fences, there's no salary cap, the officiating is consistently and notoriously godawful, and both the rules and equipment have tug-o-warred between benefitting hitters and benefitting pitchers for over a century and a half, it's *drugs* that have forever tainted the record book. If you thought steroids ruined the honor of the game, the appropriate reaction would have been to stop paying money to go to the games. That did not happen. No grumbling.

Well they made it 2024 & wet the bed. Still a Yankee Fan

But just the other day the Dodgers beat the Yanks in their own house for the World Series 2024! Ha ha I like the Mets. No matter who the Yanks play I want them to loose

And man oh man this past world series they were welcomed home in New York

Read The Boys of Summer , by Rodger Kahn. It provides more in-site to the early Dodgers.

You left out the acres of land, besides Chavez Ravine, that O’Malley was given by the city of LA. Making him extra millions.

Bad for Brooklyn great for L.A. Wouldn't mind seeing a documentary on how the NY Giants fans felt about losing their team to San Fran we also just hear about the Dodgers.
