Book Reviews of The Dodgers Move West
Book Review: A Reminder to a Forgotten Person!
Summary: 3 Stars
I have recently read the book "Dodgers Move West" written by Neil Sullivan. On the whole, I must state that this is a good book to get a historical perspective and behind the scenes movers and shakers without having extensive knowledge of the topic. Where the book seems to lose some focus is when Mr. Sullivan repeats certain facts such as Walter O'Malley's position regarding the relocation of the Brooklyn Dodgers to California. However, Mr. Sullivan provides a good compare and contrast with the situation involving the New York Giants move to California. The strength of this long forgotten book is the role played by NYC Parks Commissioner, Robert Moses. With recent books supporting the same thesis it can be clearly stated that the most influential (and forgotten) person responsible for Brooklyn losing the Dodgers is Robert Moses. What this book has done is to provide me with the incentive to read a class called "The Power Broker" by Robert Caro. Can you guess whois the "Power Broker" ?
