On May 28, 1957, Major League Baseball approved the request of the Dodgers and Giants to move to California. Their fans were outraged.
These Dodger fans thought that even a move to Queens would be traitorous—Robert Moses had proposed a Queens site for a new ballpark, but Walter O'Malley rejected it. He had a perfect site in mind in Brooklyn, but Moses refused to give his permission.
