Did your folks follow them to LA or lose interest once they left Brooklyn?
Nope, they didn't follow them. When the Dodgers left Ebbets Field, they ripped out the hearts of everyone in Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island and everywhere else. It was unforgivable. Except for taking my brothers and I to Shea Stadium in 1976, my dad never really watched another baseball game his entire life. Same with my mom. Dem Bums had such an unbreakable connection to the community and it's probably something that we'll never see again.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
