Great documentary. My Dad was born in '39 and grew up in Brooklyn. What everyone said in the film representative of what my Dad said. Like everyone else, he hated O'Malley. I never realized that he actually tried to keep the Dodgers in Brooklyn and Robert Moses was the real villain.

I'm not from Brooklyn but seeing that last part got me emotional, because as a team fan you don't want your team to go away...

Ah man, my high school English teach from Brooklyn showed us this in class. Never cared particularly much for baseball, but the passion he had for it made watching this special.

One of my Favorite Documentaries Ever!!! Thanks for Posting it

A masterpiece for sure!

This is such a great documentary.

1:01 A little history. The Dodgers hadn't won any World Championships since 1903 when the modern World Series started. However, if you include the earlier history of the team, they won league pennants in 1889, 1890, 1899, and 1900.

This was an amazing Doc, i loved this and learned a lot i didn't know about the Dodgers past

funny no mention of the Dodgers having Clemente in there system and they basically wouldn't play Roberto in the minors unless he was facing elite pitching so he wouldn't get drafted by another team. Clemente was once benched after hitting 3 triples in a game in a Dodger minor league game... once Rickey left 1st player he drafted was Clemente

@34:10 - 34:26 Thats right. Only Dodgers can say that and one one else can

The Boys of Summer

1:57:15 wow that hit me in the feels...

Thank you for posting this :*) Who's cuttin' onions? - Brooklyn born and raised, so this kinda hits hard and tugs at the heart strings <3

Brooklyn did NOT vote to incorporate into New York City in 1898; otherwise this is a flawless and most enjoyable documentary

The Brooklyn Dodgers didn’t fade away because of the creation of the Mets. National League baseball returned to New York and they were so bad that the fans longed for the departed dodgers and giants. The miracle Mets further cemented their predecessors in New York national league baseball.

Still the same ol Dodgers! Can’t win a damn WS again! Haha. Go blue! Or go bums as they used to say! Love Dodger history

As a Dodger fan living in Los Angeles and as someone who also is a fan of Disney, I have to say that Robert Moses is one of the single most influential people of my life. Without him, the Dodgers don't move to L.A. and I don't grow up going to their games. Also without him, The 1964 World's Fair doesn't happen and we don't get classic Disneyland attractions such as It's a Small World, Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln, or the Peoplemover. Thank you, Robert Moses. You are my hero.

Not Shocked that Philly was the worse, not at all. Typical of the fanbase even today

Do you have the HBO documentary on The Shot Heard Round The World?
