At the Board of Directors meeting of the Ebbets - McKeever Exhibition Company, Inc. at 35 Prospect Park West, Brooklyn, Branch Rickey asks Walter O’Malley to familiarize the Directors with the purchase of “some odd pieces of property surrounding Ebbets Field.” Since it was consistent with past practices, the Board authorized Rickey and O’Malley to continue to purchase “odds and ends” real estate near Ebbets Field at prices generally in keeping with assessed valuations.
