O'Malley had the foresight to know when everyone moved to L.I. , he wanted to move Ebbetts field from Bedford ave to 4th and Atlantic where the LIRR was. Wagner the mayor ok'd it, but that ***** Robert Moses said no. Move to queens. He weilded more power than the mayor. O'Malley then went back to Wagner and said he had an offer to move the team to L.A., but he DIDN'T WANT TO, they were the "brooklyn" dodger, again Moses said Fyou, so he left. I never knew that until HBO did a special on the brooklyn dodgers. Moses became a moron, look what he did to the BQE, specially that bottle-neck right before you hit Hamilton ave. And, O'Malley told Moses and Wagner he didn't wany city $, he was gonna use his own money. I don't blame O'Malley at all, even though the city NEVER forgot when the dodgers left.</blockquote>
