These heydays sparkle with bright moments, like Bobby Thompson's triumphant homer and Don Larsen's perfect game. Stars like Jackie Robinson, Roy Campanella and Willie Mays thrive with speed and power. Baseball is king and New York City is its throne. For a glorious decade, the game is dominated by the Yankees, Giants and the Brooklyn Dodgers - who become world champs at last. But the magic ends when that beloved team moves 3,000 miles west, leaving grieving fans behind. A pall is cast over what once was truly "The Capital of Baseball."
