BTW while it was true Milwaukee was outdrawing Brooklyn, they had a very limited radio-tv market and the fact is Brooklyn was out revenuing Milwaukee and we of course know from hindsight that the Milwaukee thing was to be very very temporary and by 1962 when the Mets were making their first visit to Milwaukee, the writers covering the Mets most of whom had covered the Brooklyn Dodgers were shocked by the low crowds they were drawing and it was only a couple of more years before Atlanta beckoned (but of course mlb made sure Milwaukee was not deprived of mlb the way Brooklyn was with the move of the Seattle Pilots to Milwaukee to become the Brewers and then they made sure Seattle was not left without mlb with the expansion Seattle Mariners and also when the Kansas City Athletics were allowed to move to Oakland, they took care of Kansas City with an expansion franchise the Royals and when the Senators moved first to Minneapolis to become the Twins mlb saw to it that Washington got an expansion franchise the Senators; the second time the Senators left Washington for Arlington Tx., it took them about 40 years but that franchise was replaced by the Expos leaving Montreal and Brooklyn as the only two municipalities from the beginning of baseball's modern era to lose mlb completely and those are facts nobody can dispute. |
