TrueYankee26 Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 No Cyclones (no ), No Mets, There would be a new version of Ebbets Field right now, probably just as much Dodgers hats in NYC than Yankee hats. trueyankee26.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Ebbets field would've become a dump and they would've moved out of the neighborhood anyway. Probably building some dual-purpose doughnut where Shea Stadium eventually went up. Or they would've torn down Ebbets, played at Yankee Stadium for a couple of years, and then built a doughnut where ebbets stood. LA would've gotten the Giants, while San Fran would've been given an expansion team named the Seals. There's more to it than that, but I don't want to go into it. I'm pretty sure this book has already been written. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

County Supervisor Kenneth Hahn was talking to Calvin Griffith in 1956 before O'Malley came to him. The Giants were more interested in moving to Minnesota before O'Malley told Horace Stoneham, the owner of the New York Giants to move to California with the Dodgers.

The_Admiral Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Didn't Robert Moses want to build a dome with equidistant outfield fences? The plans have been posted here before. It would've been really ugly.As for getting Los Angeles into the league, either the PCL would merge and disperse among the NL and AL (never bought into the viability of a three-league majors), or the Senators would've moved to Los Angeles instead of Bloomington. Vin Scully wouldn't have become quite the legend he is today if he wasn't the voice of baseball for about half the country. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waffles Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 This page has a series of Brooklyn dome concepts from that time period. My favorite is the one that looks inexplicably like a boob.These ideas were for a site where the new Nets arena is now being built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Not necessarily. The American League wouldn't have let the National League have Los Angeles all to itself, or vice versa. The leagues were much more separate entities when the Los Angeles Angels came about. Kind of an interesting tit-for-tat dynamic to league expansion in the '60s and '70s, with the Angels countering the Dodgers, San Francisco being matched by Oakland, St. Louis with Kansas City, Houston with Dallas, Montreal with Toronto. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
