    Walter O'Malley in his new home at Chavez Ravine, Dodger Stadium in 1962

    I stumbled upon this site today, and it has a lot of interesting photos/videos on the Brooklyn/LA Dodgers owner Walter OMalley. The one thing I never knew about the whole saga was that the idea to bring the Dodgers to LA was the brainchild of the lady below: 22 year old LA City Councilwoman Rosalind Wyman (who was fresh out of USC)
