Following the 1957 season, two of baseball's most famous teams, the Brooklyn Dodgers and the New York Giants, left the city they had called home since the 19th century and headed west. Lincoln A. Mitchell argues that the moves to California, second only to Jackie Robinson's debut in 1947, forged Major League Baseball as we know it today.
