Team Takes Leave of Another Town (NY Times)

From The New York Times:

Fifty years after leaving Brooklyn, the Dodgers are leaving Vero Beach, Fla., where they have held their spring training for decades.

"The dismantling of Dodgertown represents another wrecking-ball blow to baseball’s tradition."

The last game: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/18/sports/baseball/18dodgers.html?ref=sports
