Morley Brotman was more than just a sports photographer. Brotman was a champion for a civic center in downtown Tacoma — his vision would eventually become the Tacoma Dome years later. Brotman was a partner in Stanley’s Shoes and in 1955 the business sponsored a highly-touted baseball team coached by Doug McArthur, for post-season play. The team went on to win the AABC national championship. Brotman was inducted into the Tacoma Pierce County Sports Hall of Fame in 2009.
