Thats just not true at all. People are drawn to a historical franchise that was loaded with HOF players right before they moved. The 1956 team had 7 HOFers.

I once heard an episode in the 1950s sci-fi radio series X Minus One that was set in Brooklyn in the year 2056. At one point a character makes a reference to seeing the Dodgers play at "Robinson Field".

It's a different scenario but there is still a huge fanbase of "LA Raider fans" who clamor for the team to come back...and the merchandise of course sells like crazy to street culture in LA.

It was a revered franchise that moved across the country at its height of popularity and success.
Brooklyn merchandise will still be sold when the Dodgers celebrate their 100th year in LA.

My father was a huge Milwaukee Braves fan. He told me stories of Hank, Eddie Matthews, Warren Spahn, Johnny Sain, a young kid named Joe Torre, etc.

the oilers really arent a bad example if you are only really taking into account the local population. there still seems to be a lot of people in houston who dont like the texans just because they arent the oilers

The Dodgers are not defunct, which makes the Brooklyn thing more so.
People still talk about the NY Giants also.
I would say the Spirit of St Louis is the correct answer.

NY Giants also.

Gotta go with Brooklyn as #1 But when Art Modell moved the Browns to Baltimore. That was BAD... Yes the Browns are in Cleveland, But its not close to the same... The Dawg Pound at old Municipal Stadium on Lake Erie was a great place for a game and theBrowns were SOOOOO Loved by the fans.... Its just not the same anymore........

The franchise still exists.

the brooklyn dodgers no longer exist. thats being defunct

But the Dodgers are not defunct, so your premise or question is worded wrong.
That is why I said the Spirit.
Now if you had said former team home...you would be correct.

Yes they do, they are in LA. The franchise exists just the team name is changed.

The correct question should be are the Dodgers the most revered franchise by the city, Brooklyn,they moved from?
