Greener pastures. Baseball owners often became frustrated because cities wouldn't meet certain financial improvements or conditions. As a result, some of these baseball czars looked to the west, including Brooklyn Dodgers owner Walter O'Malley who was lured to Los Angeles by a lucrative deal. In turn, O'Malley persuaded New York Giants owner Horace Stoneham to move to San Francisco, effectively relocating the Dodgers-Giants rivalry to the West Coast. The moves presaged the expansion of baseball to every region of the continental United States, including the South and the Northwest, and Canada.
