Well, one reason is that many of those early L.A. Dodgers players started out in Brooklyn, so if you are a fan of the actual players, Brooklyn counts. Also, the Dodgers franchise was the first to integrate black players. If you look at a team like the 1963 Dodgers, who swept the Yankees in the World Series that year, the style of play was a direct continuation of the Jackie Robinson integration. The Yankees had not made the same leap, and therefore, the Negro League style of play that was a part of the 1963 Dodgers lineup, plus the Drysdale/Koufax dominance, made them the better team by far.
No one ever sees the lineage of playing style from Robinson up through Wills/Davis/Davis, but it's there.

Besides, as a journalist, the story is beyond your own backyard.
