Kahn job

I’m so very tired of Roger Kahn and the other Brooklynites who can’t give up the ghost and continue to demonize Walter O’Malley for the move west. It has been shown conclusively that not only did O’Malley want to build a stadium with his own money in Brooklyn, but Robert Moses had no interest in anything other than his usual desire to build highways and public works projects that clashed with O’Malley’s proposal. Ebbets Field’s utopian image has grown the further away we get from 1957. The truth was that the stadium was old and needed replacing.

Roger Kahn’s April 6 commentary is fraught with misinformation. I have not spoken with Kahn for 13 years. His assertion that Peter O’Malley sent me to Brooklyn to ascertain the community’s regard for his family is absolutely untrue. His entire column grasped at thin air.

Roger Kahn’s commentary is just plain wrong! It was my good fortune to be employed by the O’Malley family for 21 years. No one could have had better bosses. Peter ran an organization that was highly respected, viewed as an industry standard and focused on values. Their formula for success was based on stability and loyalty to and from their employees. Five National League championships and two world titles are proof enough.

I was shocked to hear that Roger Kahn, among others, feels jilted by Walter O’Malley and the Dodgers. That angle had never occurred to me, nor had it had much coverage in the media. Not enough has been written about this. I think we need more stories like it, such as whether Oswald acted alone, whether Britney is a good parent or evidence that Michael Jackson is a freak.
