Posted by Wallyhorse on Tue Oct 9 14:41:38 2018, in response to Re: OT: Shea Stadium, posted by Lou From Middletown NY on Mon Oct 8 15:21:34 2018. I actually remember that infamous year of 1975 where Shea's grass took a beating with all four teams playing there.Why for instance Columbia's Baker Field could not have undergone a temporary expansion for the Jets and Giants to play there was never explored in retrospect. That would have been better than having all four teams at Shea. Ironically, I did a blog after Duke Snider died a number of years ago asking how different things would have been if the Dodgers had instead of moving to LA stayed in Brooklyn and waited out Moses (likely as part of a multi-ownership swap with the Griffiths got the Giants and moved them to the Twin Cities as the Giants were intending to do anyway, the O'Malleys getting the original Senators and moving THEM to LA and Horace Stronhem getting the Dodgers and having them play 1-2 years in the Polo Grounds while Ebbets Field was renovated to where the Dodgers could play there until most likely 1972-'73 when the domed stadium the O'Malleys envinsioned could be built where the Barclays Center is now). |
