Period on that.Now whether Brooklyn fans would have or wouldn't have gone to Flushing, who knows. The only thing wrong with Flohyd Bennet was the city's adamant refusal to carry through what it promised when a bond issue was voted through namely to use the money to build the Utica and Nostrand Avenue extensions down to that area. Also, downtown Brooklyn was not a good location for the ballpart if a big issue was parking because how were the cars to get to the new ball park? A spur off the BQE? The BQE is at a standstill in that area much of the time anyway...imagine adding ballpart traffic to it. O'Malley was the spoiled brat in this...he wouldn't take no for an answer regarding Atlantic & Flatbush...it was his decision to say either my way or the highway. Although I agree Moses did not go out of his way on Atlantic & Flatbush, according to NY law it was a moot point anyway. And the fact was, once la la land had offered to give the slime ball O'Malley the land at Chavez Ravine which was not privately owned, it wouldn't have made any difference what the city offered. O'Malley was history and everything else that occurred was simply to try to draw the last few bucks from Brooklyn fans in 1956 and 1957 as he led them to believe the team could be saved or to protect his image in history which, as noted, some members of this imposter organization on the left coast which stole the name Dodgers from Brooklyn is trying to use to get the slime ball low life voted into the baseball Hall of Fame. And I don't think anybody who is truly aware of what went on back then could disagree; unfortunately the people who know the truth are passing from the scene and these lies about the Brooklyn Dodgers and the theft of the Dodger franchise are being pushed more and more by such as Professor Shapiro at Colombia and the HBO so called documentary which simply ignores many of the facts. |
