    Attention nostalgic Brooklyn Dodgers fans!

    The Jehovah's Witnesses are selling the former Brooklyn Heights hotel where the forever-missed baseball team stayed during home games.

    The Watchtower has just announced it is putting The Towers, also known as 21 Clark St., up for sale.

    The Dodgers, who in the 1950s infamously left Brooklyn for Elsewhere (to this day, some of us find this trauma hard to write about), used the hotel as their home base, so to speak.

    The 313,768-square-foot, 16-story building is now a residence for the Jehovah's Witnesses — but not for much longer.

    The religious organization is liquidating its once-massive Brooklyn Heights and DUMBO real-estate holdings because it is moving its headquarters to upstate Warwick, NY.

    Perhaps the Pope will put the Vatican up for sale too?
