By all accounts, O'Malley was a disgusting human being. But Adam, you're right; the average person never knew that most of the fault for the move to LA was Moses's. When you read the letters between the two men you'd be shocked. O'Malley basically begged the guy for years to help out on a new stadium. Moses dismissed him every time in the most obnoxious manner.

But the one thing that never really gets talked about (barely touched upon last night) is that the Dodgers never drew all that well in Brooklyn. As they noted last night, the last home game drew less than 7000 fans. Brooklynites always talk about how much they loved their Dodgers -- but less than 7000 fans for a night game? They were drawing better in Jersey City at the end.
