This is an interesting story, and one I don't recall having heard before. The article goes a bit too much into the alternative reality, but it's worth looking at. Apparently, the St. Louis Browns were on the verge of relocating to Los Angeles, but the plans were canceled because of Pearl Harbor. The L.A. Browns? How one day in '41 changed MLB

Interesting. But if the two NY teams hadn't moved west, we probably wouldn't have our Mets today. Later

This is really long but looks interesting, bookmarked to read at later time. Scrolled down to "Thwarted Move to Los Angeles and World War II"... [url]https://sabr.org/research/st-louis-browns-team-ownership-history
