A New Day

I'm not sure that anyone has ever read this blog, besides the one person who had to. Nevertheless, this blog's format has changed. Previously, this blog, entitled "A Day in the Life," was a film blog where anything and everything was chronicled about films I had recently seen. The film blog days are over largely because the posts were never that interesting. Built on top of the old blog's ashes comes a blog aimed at baseball, specifically baseball in Brooklyn, NY. The change comes mainly from the emotions I felt after watching the HBO documentary about the Dodgers of the early 20th century. My family came to America before the first World War and made Brooklyn home. My grandfather and great uncle bled Dodger blue up until Walter O'Malley shipped them off to Los Angeles. My purpose for this blog is to discuss all things Brooklyn and more specifically all things Brooklyn baseball. There are enough people who are still around who remember the days of Ebbets Filed and Happy Felton's Knothole Gang. I completely understand that major league baseball thrived in Brooklyn at a very different time, but there is no justifiable reason why it cannot thrive again. At a rapid rate, young New Yorkers are moving from the suburbs, not to Manhattan, but to the Borough of homes and churches, the Borough of immigrants, and the Borough of hope. I am not the first to talk of bringing Major League baseball back to Brooklyn and I will not be the last. This blog will serve as a forum, a debating table, and an arena for discussion about Brooklyn, the Brooklyn Dodgers, and ideas and thoughts concerning the idea to bring a Major League team to Brooklyn. Enjoy!
