LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers haven’t been a perfect franchise through the decades. There were the Frank McCourt years, when the Dodgers’ then-owner tried to turn Dodger Stadium into a five-story ATM. There has been a 31-year championship drought, which is hard to fathom given the team’s level of resources and level of success.
But — citing one example — you don’t get a lot of Dodgers stories that involve star outfielders and wild boars.
It does make you wonder what would have happened if New York City and Walter O’Malley could have come to an agreement sometime in around 1955 or so, one that would satisfy both parties and keep the Dodgers in Brooklyn.
