Ghosts Of Flatbush Brooklyn Dodgers
The Brooklyn Dodgers, from Jackie Robinson s breaking baseball s color barrier to their move to Los Angeles, a dozen years later. The Dodgers epitomize the diverse workingclass, in contrast with the white uptown Yankees, and come ohsoclose to winning the World Series before it finally happens in 1955. By then, Ebbets Field is crumbling, ticket sales are off, fans have moved to the suburbs, and Robert Moses is blocking Walter O Malley s plan to build a stadium at the terminus of the Long Island Railroad.
