This work, which picks up where the author's previous book, ""The
Brooklyn Dodgers in the 1940s"" (McFarland, 2005), left off, covers
the Dodgers' final eight years in Brooklyn. Chapters carry the
reader from the 1951 playoffs, when a late season collapse and
Thomson's ""Shot Heard Round the World"" dealt Brooklyn a
heartbreaking blow, through the 1955 World Series title, and
finally to Walter O'Malley's controversial decision to move the
team to Los Angeles. The author covers each season in-depth and
assesses popular perceptions of the Dodgers, their players and
owners, and considers O'Malley's culpability in the team's
departure, which ended a string of 74 years in which Brooklyn had
major league baseball.
