Flushing actually made the most sense as a home for the Dodgers. I wonder if O’Malley didn’t really give a shit and just proposed the Dodger Dome in Downtown Brooklyn as a negotiating chip that would provide an excuse to move to New Jersey or California.Had the Dodgers moved to Flushing, they probably would have moved back to Brooklyn with the popularity of retro ballparks in downtown areas, i.e. CitiField would be at Atlantic Yards instead of Barclays Center. As for the inaccuracy of the name “Brooklyn Dodgers” while playing outside of Brooklyn, no one would care, just like the Giants, Jets and other teams that play outside their parent cities. Or they could have become the New York Dodgers. They would have reverted their names at some point anyway, especially now that Brooklyn is so trendy. |
