Baseball 1942-1960
What are the most significant baseball stories - on the field and off - regular season, post-season, and off-season - for this period, in your opinion?

It has to be the Brooklyn Dogers. The perennial disappointments, to the Yankees (post season) and the Giants and Phillies (regular season), Ebbets Field, the personalities of the players, the signings of Robinson, Campy, Newk and Black, 1955!!!! and the ultimate disaster (to a 12 year old fan) --- leaving Brooklyn forever.

1. Breaking of the color line--black players remake the game.
2. WW II 3. Dodgers' dynasty begins. 4. Browns win the pennant! 5. Yankees win five in a row. 6. Willie, Mickey and the Duke. 7. New York the center of the baseball world--and for awhile, nothing else much going on. 8. Braves emerge, but can't rise to the level of dynasty 9. Maz! |

1. WW2
2. Jackie Robinson and Larry Doby break the color line 3. Bill Veeck 4. Migrating frannchises - the Braves to Milwaukee, the Browns to Baltimore 5. Baseball becomes national - teams on the west coast 6. The return of the running game - Aparicio and the Go-Go White Sox, a harbinger of the deadball 60s
