The reason the Dodgers had to leave Brooklyn is a long story. But it centers around a man named Robert Moses..perhaps the most interesting man ever in American public life. he essentially used emminant domain to foreclose o the land Ebbets Field occupied to build a public housing project.
The Dodgers then came to LA and the city forcibly removed hundreds of mexican immigrants in Chavez Ravine to build the stadium
