When Baseball was Baseball, BURN IN HELL ROBERT MOSES!!

I hear you.

But, Ebbets Field would not have survived too many more years. If O’Malley had his way, he would have built an Astrodome type stadium in downtown Brooklyn.

Its funny how in the 50s and 60s, we saw so many multi use stadiums built. But nowadays, the major trend has been to build old fashioned style ball parks.

Thank you so much for posting this.

My dad use to tell me about seeing the Dodgers back in his hometown of Brooklyn. He loved going to that stadium, and Yankee stadium.

I’ve mentioned to a few people here, that my father’s health is failing and we don’t expect him to be here at Christmas.

So seeing this on a rainy day when I couldn’t visit him today, has me weeping and connecting with him, when he was a younger man, and not a father. I don’t know if that makes sense, I’m just so happy to see this video.

Some Met fans think the new ballpark Citi Field looks too much like Ebbets Field, and thus disrespects the Mets.

Mets owner Fred Wilpon was a big Brooklyn Dodgers fan, which is why he built it like that.

Gone, but not forgotten. Robert Moses 1; The Brooklyn Dodgers, New York Giants, Manhattan, and Brooklyn 0.

You know, of all the Major League ballparks that were around when I was in High School, only two remain... Fenway and Wrigley.

That probably means something, but...
