As noted, a lot of that was written in 2011 right after Snider passed away.If someone O'Malley had been convinced to wait out Moses until the late 1960s and the political climate allowed the domed stadium to be built OR there was say a three-way swap of ownership where O'Malley got the Senators and moved them to LA, the Griffiths got the Giants and moved them to the Twin Cities and Stroneham got the Dodgers on the condition they remained in Brooklyn, then a lot of what I think happened after that would have. Remember, everything would have been completely different had the Senators, who apparently were the original targets to move to LA had been the ones that moved. The one thing that might have been different from what I originally wrote knowing what I do now about the situation with the Pilots (that became the Brewers right before the 1970 season began) might have been the A's remained in KC under the ownership that came in with the Royals and Finley got an expansion team in Oakland that would have likely been in the NL since the San Francisco team that would likely have come in with the second Senators would have been in the AL and commenced play in 1968 with perhaps Bud Selig having the Brewers come in as the other expansion team in 1968 to replace the Braves that had moved in '65. |
