The Dodgers and city officials signed their contract to build a stadium in Chavez Ravine, a year to the day after Los Angeles voters narrowly approved the plans. Dodgers owner Walter O'Mslley continued to publicly state he was optimistic the Dodgers could open the 1960 season in their new ballpark even though reports to the north suggested the Giants, who didn't have a controversy over where to build their stadium, were behind in their plans to open Candlestick Park.. Dodger players couldn't wait to get out of the Coliseum. "When we get into our new stadium the fans of Los Angeles will see major league baseball the way it should be played," Don Drysdale said. "D'ya think O'Malley can use me this winter building the stadium? Seriously, it's great news," Duke Snider said. --Keith Thursby
