Brooklyn Dodgers on HBO tonight
FYI, there is an HBO doc running over the next two nights about the Dodgers ("The Ghosts of Flatbush") which looks very interesting. Mainly deals with from '47 to about '57 - ie Jackie Robinson, '55 victory and the move to LA. It is as much about postwar Brooklyn as it is baseball and looks like it would appeal to a lot of people on here.

Except, of course, that Ebbets Field wasn't in Flatbush. It was and is part of CH.

no shit, sherlock.

I bet if Ebbits was still here people on this site would be calling 311 with noise complaints. I can hear it now; "they wont stop cheering and yelling" waaaa.
