The Last Good Season: Brooklyn, the Dodgers, and Their Final Pennant Race Together | 
8) Well told history of how the Dodgers actually ended up in LA and, briefly, how they ended up in Chavez Ravine. A realistic and compassionate portrayal of the team, the struggles of Walter O‘Malley as he tried to find a way to keep the Dodgers in Brooklyn, and the reality of the deep damage done to the people of Brooklyn by Robert Moses. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ One of my favorite books about the Dodgers.

This was a fantastic book. It wove the story of Brooklyn, the Dodgers, Brooklynites, and the two men—O‘Malley and, especially, Moses, who turned it all on its head. Funny aside: I was listening to it as we drove to our camp and my older son, who does not know baseball, heard Moses‘ name and gagged. He knows how Moses ruined the Brooklyn, among others.

Laundry day. We were supposed to be preparing to camp but now we‘re on fire again. :( Trying to find a replacement campground now.
