DeWolf Hopper, maybe. The actor,” Thorn said. “Hopper became famous for reciting ‘Casey at the Bat’ the first time in public, and then did it 10,000 more times. He was a big Broadway star. All the Broadway theater performers attached themselves to the Giants, not the Dodgers.”

I think the difference in terms of separation in the sort of baseball consciousness between the two franchises, in as much as there was one,” McGee said, “probably came about during the ’60s, after the Giants started to fade, and the Dodgers still had competitive teams through the ’70s.” Bankers and lawyers and clerks, and they would leave downtown for the Polo Grounds by the train in 1905, 1910, and arrive in time for a game’s start at 3:30,” Thorn said. Gary Mintz, organizer of the New York Giants Preservation Society, said that at times, the Giants’ legacy in New York absolutely feels pushed aside relative to the Dodgers’.

New York: New York University Press. p.81.In 1934, Giants manager Bill Terry asked whether the Dodgers were even still in the league. The Giants carried a feeling of superiority that the Dodgers, for the longest time, never could. Going to the Polo Grounds always felt dark, always felt bleak: 155th and Eighth Avenue in Manhattan, and the beautiful Yankee Stadium across the bridge,” King said. “The Polo Grounds was a weird place.” Goldblatt, Andrew (3 June 2003).

When Los Angeles officials attended the 1956 World Series looking to entice a team to move there, they were not even thinking of the Dodgers. Their original target had been the Washington Senators franchise, which eventually moved to Bloomington, Minnesota to become the Minnesota Twins in 1961. At the same time, O'Malley was looking for a contingency in case Moses and other New York politicians refused to let him build the Brooklyn stadium he wanted, and sent word to the Los Angeles officials that he was interested in talking. Los Angeles offered him what New York did not: a chance to buy land somewhat suitable for building a ballpark, and the chance to own that ballpark, giving him complete control over all its revenue streams. At the same time, the National League was not willing to approve the Dodgers' move unless O'Malley found a second team willing to join them out west, largely out of concern for travel costs. [38]

When you say ‘New York,’ it could be New York City, it could be New York State,” Weinberg said. “But when you say ‘Brooklyn,’ it’s a defined, confined geographical area.” Especially the stadium,” said Mintz, whose group has regular video meetings, and more than 2,500 followers on Facebook. “It’s always, ‘Ebbets Field was this.’ And then the Mets build a duplicate of it basically, and then they sit there and tell you, ‘Well, the green seats (at Citi Field) are for the Polo Grounds.’ The Giants, I think in New York as the years went by, probably considered themselves third-class citizens behind the Yankees and Dodgers.” Vidmer, Richards (August 16, 1926).

A 2007 HBO film, Brooklyn Dodgers: The Ghosts of Flatbush, is a documentary covering the Dodgers history from early days to the beginning of the Los Angeles era. In the film, the story is related that O'Malley was so hated by Brooklyn Dodger fans after the move to California, that it was said: "If you asked a Brooklyn Dodger fan, if you had a gun with only two bullets in it and were in a room with Hitler, Stalin, and O'Malley, who would you shoot?
