Actually, as I noted elsewhere on this:Had the Dodgers remained in Brooklyn, what likely happens is: The Dodgers play 1-2 seasons in the Polo Grounds while Ebbets Field undergoes a huge renovation that allows it to remain until the Dodgers build their dome at the Atlantic Yards, likely around 1972-'73 (Mets never come into existence, instead LA gets an NL expansion team at the same time the Houston Colt .45s/Astros come into the NL as the (original) Senators move to LA with O'Malley as owner, while the Griffiths get the Giants and move them to the Twin Cities and Stroneham gets the Dodgers and San Francisco gets an AL expansion team (likely the Seals are promoted from the Pacific Coast League)). Once the Dodgers go back to Brooklyn, the Polo Grounds likely gets rebuilt into a football-only stadium for the Titans of New York/Jets, with it being as modern as such a stadium could be for the early '60s (Shea never gets built). |
