Former Los Angeles Dodgers owner Peter O’Malley revealed his plans to sell the Dodgers Jan. 6, 1997, signaling the end of a 50-year-long partnership between the Dodgers and the O’Malley family.
Several factors contributed to the ultimate sale of the team, with Peter O’Malley himself revealing the city’s rejection of his plans to build a football stadium played a huge part in his decision.
