By Glenn Rifkin Imagine: It's a brisk, bright autumn Saturday morning on a green field in the suburbs. You arrive in your striped shirt, white baseball cap, and black running shoes with a whistle looped around your neck.

The day after the ceremony, though, the Dodge brothers filed a lawsuit against Ford Motor Company.

By: Glenn Rifkin In 1978, the Buffalo Braves of the National Basketball Association departed from western New York and landed in San Diego, where they became the Clippers. A sports franchise relocating is not unusual.
