Ebbetts Field and the Polo Grounds were aging ballparks. The combination of the neighborhood going bad, no parking, an old ballpark and the promise of more money and fans in California caused both the Giants and Dodgers to move at the same time to the west coast.

Major League Baseball's Dodgers had moved from Brooklyn to Los Angeles in 1958 and had become a huge financial success. Lakers owner Bob Short, a shrewd young businessman from Minneapolis who had owned the franchise for two years, packed up the club and moved it to Los Angeles before the 1960-61 season.
