Hmmmm, could this picture be from the game played on 7/25//56?Last edited by Let's Go Mets!; 08-04-2009, 10:49 AM.Let's Go Mets!

Roosevelt Stadium/Dodger trivia:
*Carl Furillo hit the 1st Dodger HR there.
*Frank Robinson hit the very first HR there.
*Both Furillo and Robinson's HR's were hit at the July 25,1956 game (Snider's was the 3rd)
*The Pirates never made it to JC in 1957. The Phillies played there twice that summer.
*The Dodgers played the Cleveland Indians (1956 exhibition) there and Sal Maglie pitched for the Indians (Bob Feller too).you can take the Dodgers out of Brooklyn, but you can't take the Brooklyn out of the DODGERS

Actually, Pittsburgh would get the Dodgers, the Pirates would move to Tampa (They'd have the Buccaneers and Pirates), L.A. would get the Rays (More sunshine in L.A. then in Tampa) and the Yankees would move here to Portland, Oregon, just for the hell of it.
Since NY would be left with one team, the Mets would change their name to the Modgerankees.I see great things in baseball. It's our game - the American game.

If a Brooklyn Dodger franchise is desirable, it would have to be a "new" one; but it would be cool if they could--just like the Cleveland Browns did--win back all the "rights" to the "old" team.

I would ask that the same rules and courtesy be applied to you as well.

I can imagine that you guys in NY would love to see that happen to the "LA Dodgers"!
