The 1957 Brooklyn Dodgers season was overshadowed by Walter O'Malley's threat to move the Dodgers out of Brooklyn if the city didn't build him a new stadium in that borough. When the best the Mayor could promise was a stadium in Queens, O'Malley made good on his threats and moved the team to Los Angeles after the season ended. The Dodgers final game at Ebbets Field was on September 24 as they finished their 68th and last NL season in Brooklyn in third place with an 84-70 record, eleven games behind the NL and World Series Champion Milwaukee Braves.
