I have a St.Louis Browns cap like the bottom one in the middle.Had they moved to Los Angeles,I would have changed their name to Blue Sox.The AL would have had the Red Sox on the East Coast, White Sox in the Midwest and Blue Sox on the West Coast,all three colors of Old Glory.If some city such as San Jose, Sacramento or Salt Lake City ever get an AL franchise,I hope they consider that name.My parents and I drove by Mission Stadium when we went to HemisFair in 1968.

Boy, baseball was great back in those days! I wish the telecast had been kinescoped and saved. This occurred when "Dragnet" was in its heyday, which makes me wonder why Chief Parker didn't send Joe Friday to the brawl; maybe he was out on another assignment.

My understanding is that one of the minority owners of the L A Dodgers is the effective current owner of the OKC Triple A team. That is why this affiliation exists. But I do not think this is an ideal situation for the L A Dodgers. Given the distance between the two cities, shuffling personnel up and down is too time consuming and expensive. I think at some point L A is going to want to find an affiliate closer to home as many of the other 29 MLB teams have done. Stuart in L A.
