.............but a Larry King (forget Peter Golenbock) story (many years after the fact) regarding Red Barber and Joe Garagiola (see thread: Has The Voice Of The Brooks Been Back?) succeeds in gaining credence with you...........wow.you can take the Dodgers out of Brooklyn, but you can't take the Brooklyn out of the DODGERS

Let's get it straight once and for all...Bob Moses, as despicable a human being who ever walked the earth as there was, had little to do with the theft of the Brooklyn franchise. He felt Atlantic/Flatbush was the wrong place for a baseball stadium in an America that was rapidly changing to an automobile dependent country (he was quite right on that score), he felt the deal was illegal according to NY State law (I will leave it to you whether as a civil servant he should have let a little thing like NYS law bother hime) and he was quite willing to work with O'Malley to provide him a home in the most logical location in the area (Flushing Meadow central to where many of the Flatbush Faithful had left for).....it was O'Malley who either used the Atlantic/Flatbush as a smoke screen for his true intentions or who saw nothing wrong with holding up a municipality to satisfy his own greed whether that municipality be New York City or the City of Los Angeles.Originally posted by JOVE23 View Post
As far as Admiral Yamamoto, well that's a new twist but then again he got is at Midway, didn't he?Comment

I don't consider Barber as pompous, but some things I have read about him, and listening to some of his broadcasts, he does not come off as thew nicest guy around. I believe in the the other thread that I said the story made Barber sound pompous.Originally posted by penncentralpete View PostLast edited by EdTarbusz; 08-03-2009, 11:14 AM.Comment

Actually I said that he comes off like a pompous jerk. That's not the same as calling him a pompous jerk.Originally posted by penncentralpete View PostComment

I will have to take comfort that I can interpret the following as being seperate statements with seperate meanings:
the story makes Red Barber comes across like a pompous jerk.
as opposed to:
Red Barber was a pompous jerk.
I said the first, not the second.Comment
