O'Malley Skips Town

Fifty years ago today, in 1957, the Brooklyn Dodgers played their last game at Ebbets Field. The Dodgers defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates 2-0. The 1958 season was played in Los Angeles.

• In the 60's, my dad worked as a salesman in a sporting goods store. He brought home some defunct Brooklyn Dodgers t-shirts which were my favorite clothes to wear. This may have begun my affection for baseball history.
