My Dad is 81 and avid follower since the Brooklyn days as well.
I love the Dodgers' history from Jackie Robinson to the Boys of Summer to Sandy Koufax to Fernando-mania to Kirk Gibson's HR, to all the years of the incomparable Vin Scully. Love the Brooklyn history and how the Dodgers (and Giants) move symbolized the nation's move West.
And, to add to it, they once had my all-time favorite player, Roberto Clemente in their minor league system, but couldn't protect/hide him and he was found by the Pirates (and the rest is history).
