A History of Baseball and Paper Mills [History]

On Saturday night, 22 October 2016, I witnessed the Chicago Cubs clinch a place in baseball's 2016 World Series after capturing the pennant during the National League Central Division playoffs with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Not since 1945 had this baseball club been able to accomplish this extraordinary feat. It was on 28 May 1957, at a National League baseball owners midseason meeting in Chicago, that the decision was made to move the Brooklyn Dodgers franchise to Los Angeles. Chicago, of course, has always been known as a baseball town, and the young Cubs players, in their early 20s, magically captured the hearts of their devoted fans in winning their place in history once again.
