Dodgermania

This isn't the first baseball item I've posted this October, and it won't be the last, I'm sure. It might, however, have more historical value than the others. Walter O'Malley, who owned the Brooklyn and then Los Angeles Dodgers, would have celebrated his 100th birthday on October 9th. In his honor, his family has created a website with an absolute mother lode of memorabilia, including much correspondence regarding the move from Brooklyn to L.A, reports from engineers about stadium siting in both cities, yearbooks, autographed baseball pix, and much more. It's a treasure trove of baseball information for any baseball fan.

I'm gonna have to check out the O'Malley website. I was a huge Dodger fan as a kid and never forgave O'Malley for moving to the west coast!
