If ever there was a figure that changed the game of baseball it was Walter O’Malley. Criticized by fans in Brooklyn and beloved in California, O’Malley became one of the most controversial owners in the history of American sports when he transplanted the Brooklyn Dodgers to Los Angeles in 1958.
Whether you loved him or disagreed with him, O’Malley’s fascinating story is fundamental to the history of modern sports. And yet it has never been fully explored.
That all changed in 2007 when the O’Malley family opened an archive of 30,000 documents, photographs, and artifacts to Pulitzer Prize-winning author Michael D’Antonio.
Now the critically acclaimed biographer uses his unprecedented access, thorough independent research and hundreds of hours of new interviews with family, friends, players and associates–many talking about O’Malley for the first time–to fully reveal this complex sportsman and industry pioneer in FOREVER BLUE: The True Story of Walter O’Malley, Baseball’s Most Controversial Owner, and the Dodgers of Brooklyn and Los Angeles

Former Dodgers Ken Landreaux and Reggie Smith - both of whom played in the Compton
Little League — will be on hand for the grand
re-opening of the Compton Little League. After a nearly 10-year hiatus, the
Little League that helped many future major leaguers get their start in baseball
is re-opening, thanks in large part to a donation of $10,000 by Angels’
outfielder Torii Hunter and other players to provide uniforms and equipment for
the Little Leaguers. Hunter will be in Minnesota with the Angels on Saturday and
unable to attend, but he does plan to visit the Little League when his schedule
permits.
