In the middle of the 1956 season it was heavily rumored that Clark or Calvin Griffith were seriously considering moving the Senators to Los Angeles. The Dodgers had not yet shown any interest in mvving there at that time. It was at the 1956 World Series that Kenneth Hahn, LA County Supervisor was told my Walter O'Malley to hold off on the Senators, that we was considering moving the team to LA since all hope of securing the necessary land to build O'Malley's new Brooklyn stadium had pretty much gone by the boards. When the "Big "" returned with his team from Japan after a successful junket there he saw nothing that remotely was being done to get him the land he needed. It was then that I think O'Malley made up his mind to move to the West Coast. |
