"At 70 years old I’ve been a life-long Reds fan, but you could offer me the best seat in the house and I wouldn’t go."

I lost interest in baseball when the Dodgers deserted me and moved out of Ebbets Field in Brooklyn.

‘I lost interest in baseball when the Dodgers deserted me and moved out of Ebbets Field in Brooklyn.’

on September 8, 1957, I attended, with my father and grandfather, the last Dodger-Giant game ever played in NY, at the Polo Grounds, which the Giants pulled out, 3-2...what a surreal, sad and somber experience, and to my mind an everlasting wound to baseball...
