Never should have left Brooklyn.

The Brooklyn Dodgers were my team in the 50s {only because my Little League team was the Dodgers} and I was heart broken when they left NY for LA.

After they moved I started watching/listening to the Pirates and I was stationed in Germany when the Pirates won the 60 World Series via Maz's unlikely homer against the Yankees.

Some of us young Pirate fans {almost all were drafted at the time} had a real party at a local Gasthause in Schweinfurt, Germany.

Even though that was more than 60 years ago, I'll never be able to remember that night...it's always been a blur:)

100% agreement. One of my late Dad’s best friends grew up in New York before the war. He saw the Yankees at Yankee Stadium, the Giants at the Polo Grounds, and the Dodgers at Ebbets Field.

I remain eternally jealous.

“Never should have left Brooklyn”

Brooklyn one ups even LA for $hit holes.
