The big picture: Of course, there was no NFL or NBA back then, and the NHL had only been around for a year, so there wasn’t nearly as much to miss. Television hadn’t been invented, either, so unless your ancestors lived down the street from Ebbets Field, they probably didn’t miss the Dodgers games.
Driving the news: Following a rough weekend, the comeback might have to keep waiting.
