Fun stuff. I wonder if those teams that moved more than once (Braves – Boston to Milwaukee to Atlanta, for instance) picked up another fan club in the intermediate cities?

My poem is in memoriam to Ron Gabriel, who passed away in Maryland last week.

I think that I shall never see/ Bobby Thomson spelled without a “p”/No one spells Branca with a “k”/ It makes me wish Thomson had K’d that day/If only that homer had left the park/ At the end of the bat of Alvin Dark/It might have been worse,the prospect wows me/ “Now batting Alex Konikowski.”

Wonderful piece! Makes me remember all those stories my father told of the glory days at the Polo Grounds. Thanks for the memories.

I applaud individuals like Ron Gabriel, Bill Kent, Dave Jordan and others for not just holding onto their fond memories but for being passionate enough to share them with others. They keep these great moments alive for new generations who weren’t as lucky as they were to experience things firsthand but can reap the benefits of their devotion to the teams and players. Wonderful story!

Thank you, Mr. Wingren, for a great catch. The Boston Braves did, indeed, move to Milwaukee in 1953. The team went on to win the World Series in 1957 against the New York Yankees in seven games. We regret the error. The correct date was immediately reflected on SaturdayEveningPost.com.

FALSE!!!

The Boston Braves moved to Milwaukee in 1953.
The MILWAUKEE Braves won the World Series in 1957 beating the Yankees.

A major error in the article calls into question the veracity of other information.
