Hi All,
I am a NY Yankees fan and have been since 1957, when the dodgers left town!!! My grandfather used to take me to Ebbets Field when I was 6 YO, and loved the Brooklyn Dodgers, except when they left Brooklyn!!! That's when I became Yankee Fan!!!
Now, my two favorite teams are the Yankees and whoever is playing Boston!!!
Yes, I have heard many stories about the Dodgers and Ebbetts Field. I don't know the exact reason why they left. However, the Giants also moved to California via San Francisco. Willie Mays had to adjust to windy Candlestick Park. He played the outfield based on how windy it was. Thank goodness that stadium is history for baseball. Giants have a nice newer baseball stadium now.
