Brings back memories of the Dodgers at the L.A. Coliseum. Amazing how they shoehorned a baseball field into that stadium. Dodgers played there for four years until Dodger Stadium opened.

Their first four years in LA, 1958-61, before Dodger Stadium opened in 1962.

LA Wrigley Field, where the minor-league Angels played (and the major-league version played their first season) and where "Home Run Derby" was filmed, was available. Yet they chose to try to make the Coliseum a baseball park.
