The final Brooklyn Dodger baseball game before the Brooklyn Dodgers were scheduled to leave for Los Angeles, California, for the 1958 season, departing Brooklyn after playing 45 years at Ebbets Field. This final Brooklyn Dodger baseball game is played on the road in Philadelphia Pennsylvania against the Philadelphia Phillies. Broadcast on radio WOKO 1460. Vin Scully and Jerry Dogget call the play-by-play. Ironically, this memorable baseball game was not televised to home fans in Brooklyn as was the New York Giants final game at the Polo Grounds. This game is notable also for the fact that it contains the last at bat of Brooklyn Dodger catcher great Roy Campanella who would suffer paralysis as a result of an automobile accident on January 28, 1958, ending his illustrious baseball career.

NOTE: Last game played at the Polo Grounds by the Giants (New York / San Francisco). KINER'S KORNER Premiered with the first televised New York Mets home game (April 19, 1962) broadcast on WOR TV Channel 9 in New York. This 15 minute program aired prior to and after each NEW YORK METS home baseball game. The show usually consisted of an interview with the star of the game from the winning team, along with game highlights and scores of other games from that day. Sometimes two or more players were featured. The show's theme music was Flag of Victory Polka, written by Alvino Rey under the name Ira Ironstrings. The show's name came from the close-in left field seats in Forbes Field where Kiner deposited many home runs during his Hall of Fame career as a Pirate home-run hitter. Most extant KINER KORNER archived broadcasts are circa 1980's and 1990's and only a few dozen of those broadcasts are known to exist. Sadly, many hundreds of other shows were never recorded or if recorded on video tape erased over (wiped) using the 2" Quad to record a next broadcast, saving money or not viewing the saving of these programs of any value once aired. (1962-1980).
