Chicago Cubs were defecting to the Los Angeles Dodgers before there was even a team there. Marilyn was partying with the Hollywood Stars (AAA), not MLB. The Dimaggios were SF boys and Jackie Robinson was from Pasadena and went to UCLA. The team moved the year after the jet engine got invented it was so imminent
If I remember my SB nation trivia, he also managed to break an NBA backboard by throwing the basketball directly at it.
