Nice video , 77 years old don't remember too much about Brooklyn Dodgers or New York Giants seems like their fans really loved their teams. Now just a sad story too bad they didn't let them build a new domed stadium .

I met Duke Snider in 2002. He is such an amazing person to talk to. I got an autographed bat ball from him, and it's the most prized piece in my Dodgers Collection. I only paid $27 for the bat, and he signed it. At that time, Duke owed money to the IRS, so he lowered his autograph prices to pay off his debut fast. It was sad the IRS was trying to ruin him.

I saw them play at Roosevelt Stadium in jersey city. We walked to the game.

Duke Snyder hit more home runs in the decade of the 50s than anyone.

The dodgers have spent more years in LA than they did in Brooklyn at this point. Few alive today ever saw the Brooklyn team. It's nice nostalgia, but that's about it. I'll give the Dodgers (Branch Rickey) credit for changing the face of America by bringing Jackie Robinson up to the majors in 1947. After that, the only thing you can say about today's dodgers is they have lots of money and like the Yankees it gives them a credible team every year. The reality is they spend twice as much as everyone else and the results are still not much better than everyone else.

They still have more years in Brooklyn then they do LA. A simple google search could’ve told you that.

Brooklyn Dodgers story is another sports tragedy that underlines that team ownership interests often dont align with the interests of their fans.
