7 0 All Jaydawg^2681 Fifty years ago today, baseball voted to move the Dodgers and Giants to California, establishing franchises west of the Mississippi for the first time 5/28/07, 2:48pm I may be a little biased here, but I think we Angelenos scored the better franchise. I couldn't imagine going to Chavez Ravine to salute a team in Halloween costumes. But, even today, there's still some old-timer Brooklynites who are steamed at Walter O'Malley for taking away 'dem Bums. It's not O'Malley's fault that Robert Moses wouldn't allow him to build a new ballpark. It was a brilliant on O'Malley's part to move the team to L.A., the country's third largest city at the time. Speaking of the Giants, I never hear about Manhattanites being disgruntled at Horace Stoneham for moving them to S.F. For the most part, they're die-hard Yankee fans today.
