Negative Positive
Title: Great Story
Review: Michael Shapiro manages to find a new, informative, and well-argued story in the timeless tail of 1950s baseball in New York. His argument shows the changes in NYC during the time period, with the growth of the suburbs leading Robert Moses to believe that the future of pro sports and high society in general are outside the cities. But this only leads to Brooklyn having one of its few identities ripped away, while the likes of Shea Stadium (Moses' master plan) portends one of the more dismal eras in stadium building and location.On the other hand, Shapiro discusses how even after the Dodgers became in interested in moving, their dream deal at Chavez Ravine could easily have collapsed.Meantime, there is a game on the field and Shapiro details how the Dodgers, despite the age/physical breakdown of most of their stars, and all sorts of other problems, fight for one more National League pennant, leading to the last and probably best of the Subway Series'.Definitely worth reading.
