Dodgers consider moving home base in radical league plan
The article debates shifting the Dodgers’ home base to Jersey City as a temporary, novelty revenue move. It argues such a move would erode local pride, likening it to barnstorming era teams, and notes the plan could boost short term profits while preventing lasting fan loyalty or roots in any city. It also compares this strategy to modern pitchman touring and mentions Don Newcombe earning the nickname Davy Crockett for his versatility.
