With 1,000 spectators, invited dignitaries, 200 members of the news media and two bands on hand, Walter O'Malley and the Dodger management team arrives at Los Angeles International Airport on the team plane with "Los Angeles Dodgers" emblazoned on it. Asd O'Malley stepped off the plane, he was served a summons which challenged the city's contract with the Dodgers.

Whts going on now, really has nothing to do with the team or the city. Its just a clash of 2 people with super big egos. All their children are grown up, so now the team has become the child in the custody battle.

The teams finances should have nothing to do with their personal finances.
