Major League Baseball has taken over the daily operations of the Los Angeles Dodgers because of economic difficulties created by the team owners’ marital dispute.
It is time for MLB to take another step and sell the team to the new Nets owner so the team can be moved back to Brooklyn where residents have been waiting over half a century with open arms for the team’s return.
New York supports two major league and two minor league teams and can easily support a third big league team as it once did up until the late 1950s.
Brooklyn’s population rivals Manhattan and can easily provide a fan base for the team. Moving the Dodgers will create jobs and revenues for the city.
Envision a league championship series between the Mets and Dodgers with the winner going on to play the Yankees in the World Series. A true subway series that will bring millions of dollars to the city. Time to bring “dem bums” back to Brooklyn.
