YBF, I think a lot of Dodger fans, would love to have the dodgers back in Brooklyn. Some are either afraid to say it or dare to dream it. John forsythe used to belong to a group who believed the dodgers belonged in Brooklyn They also endeavoured and sought ways to bring it about.
When I was in the service in 59 we were stationed in California and I saw the games at the coliseum, (I went because, the duke, Gil, sandy and even pee wee were still there. My mom sent me my Brooklyn cap because I refused to buy the La cap and I wasn't the only one.
Younger people I knew in the 70's and 80's when first seeing the Brooklyn cap would ask is the B for "bake" then I would tell them all about the brooks. In the last ten to fifteen years more young people seem to already know. it's a great thing. battling bake, the dodger dynamo

Guest repliedI can imagine DD. O'Smelley stole your team. The problem is that many of the non Brooklyn fans (mainly LALA) fans that are posting here, sometimes do say that you must get over it and that you must forget. They simply do not (want to) understand what you guys feel. Just like we should forget what Hitler did... I know you can not compare those two things, but I think you catch my drift.Originally posted by dodger dynamo View Post
But thanks goodness, not all LALA fans are like that. When I was in Dodgers Stadium in 1995, I wore my Brooklyn Dodgers T-shirt and cap. I was sitting to a young guy (maybe 24) and he really liked them. So probably that is someone who is NOT ignoring the REAL Dogers.Leave a comment:

I think he's speaking of the "curse" however, on the trolley subject, It's safe to say In LA, they never "dodged" a trolley to attend a major league game.

Guest repliedJOVE23, you must be a unlucky charm for the LALALALALA Dodgers. You made the Braves beat the left coast group.

Don't worry, just hold it up anyway, you'll probably get on TV. I'm sure the Braves TV people don't know jack squat about rail history, so they will probably run with it.Originally posted by JOVE23 View PostLeave a comment:

LOL that could be a problem. Strange, when I think of trolleys and the West Coast, it's always San Fran that comes to mind, not LA.Originally posted by LetsGoMets687 View PostLOL That's nice sentiment except it's kind of BS. Sorry, but I'm a rail nut.
LA had one of the most famous trolley systems in the country, and the LA trolleys, the famous Red Cars, ironically were still in operation for several years after the last trolley in Brooklyn stopped running. http://www.usc.edu/libraries/archive...toric/redcars/
But have fun with your sign.
Oh well, a friend suggested I write "Is Podres Pitching?" on the back, so I have that to fall back on.Leave a comment:

I'm going to the LA game tonight
They decided to show their faces in Atlanta, so I decided I'm gonna stir the pot a little.
How does this meet with your approval?
