I’ve heard that Barclay’s Center, home of the Brooklyn Nets of the NBA, was built in the very location where Walter O’Malley wanted to build a stadium.
I read that the Dodgers could have become the “Queens Dodgers” as Moses wanted to build a stadium on the land where Shea Stadium was eventually built. But O’Malley was reported to have said, that if the Dodgers were anywhere but Brooklyn, that it didn’t matter if they were a few miles outside Brooklyn or 3,000 miles outside of Brooklyn.
I’ve sometimes wondered how baseball would have evolved, if the Giants and Dodgers had stayed in New York. At the very least, the Mets franchise would never have been created.
