Chapter Chapter 13 in National League Franchises: Team Performances Inspire Business Success, 2016, pp 103-110 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Despite winning 12 National League (NL) pennants and one World Series from 1890 to 1957, professional baseball’s Brooklyn franchise experienced problems with its location, ballpark, and market. Five decades after being re-nicknamed Dodgers in the early 1900s, majority owner Walter O’Malley demanded public land for free from Brooklyn’s commissioner of parks and to replace the 31,500-seat Ebbets Field with a new ballpark. Besides these issues, O’Malley was impressed with the surge in the NL Braves’ home-game attendances after they moved from Boston to Milwaukee in 1953.
