Imagine For A Moment-A Just If
Had Robert Moses not made up a tale that he was going to put up a huge parking garage over the LIRR Yards at Atlantic and Flatbush Avenues in Brooklyn:
It was to be a PRIVATELY-Built and Owned Stadium;
It would've been the 1st Domed Baseball Stadium;
People in Park Slope, would've walked to it;
People would still be wearing a cap with a "B" on it, all over NYC;
The Dodgers wouldda still been ours to cherish;
Instead, "Moses Monument" is in Corona, built on a NYC Department Of Sanitation Dump in Corona;
The Monument is called Shea Stadium;
Shea Stadium is in its' last days and I call it "The Dump";
The NY Mets play there and stink out the joint-The City of NY owns it;
But, an Ebbets Field Tribute Park is going to replace "The Dump";
The only "B" Caps being worn in Park Slope, belong to Boston Red Sox Fans, whose beloved Fenway Park, is the "Ebbets Field" I never Knew, but have been to, 8 times;
Ciao-Later!

My one regret in having been born when I was is that I never got to see a game at Ebbetts Field.
Well, not my ONE regret, but it's one OF THEM :-)
I was 2 when the Dodgers played the last game in Ebbets Field:
But, next to Shea Stadium will be the Tribute Version of Ebbets Field, called Citi Field
& I like Fenway, way better.
