I’m from Brooklyn and that’s a Hell to the Fucking No. They had a chance to have a stadium built where the Barclay’s Center now stands, and decided to go to California instead. Nope. Not doing it, even if the Dodgers broke the color barrier and supported integration.

They went to California because Robert Moses wouldn’t let them build there.

(in addition to being the first team to hire Black players, Dodgers were also the first team to hire a Japanese player and a Korean player, the first team to let women sportswriters into the locker room, the first team to have a woman head trainer).

Magic Johnson and Billie Jean King are among the general partners.
