It's more than strange, it's disturbing. Baseball was the sport growing up in Brooklyn. The Brooklyn Dodgers were everybody's life. Then, all of a sudden, they're leaving. They're going to a foreign place. I was angry. I never lost that anger.

It was a great team. They were individuals who united the community, and then they were gone. I think the people of Brooklyn back then, they don't live in Brooklyn now, they live in Florida, in L.A., Long Island, wherever, but they don't forget the Brooklyn team of '55.
I hated them. To think that they're celebrating their heritage, the first World Series they won, they have no right to do that. I know a lot of people feel the same way. They won the Series in '59. They can celebrate the '59 Series and everything since L.A., but they don't have to celebrate '55.
