Ghost Town of Baseball Nears in New York City
New York City faces the scare of becoming a single team town as the Brooklyn Dodgers threaten to move. Walter O Malley warns that if the Dodgers depart for Jersey City or elsewhere, the New York Giants may follow. He notes Dodgers’ 350000 in 41 home games at Polo Grounds versus 290000 by six other NL teams in 27 games. Mayor Wagner calls a meeting to discuss a safe park site amid bids for a new venue.
