| abstract | - The City of Brooklyn had a history of outstanding baseball clubs dating back to the mid-1850s, notably the Brooklyn Atlantics, the Brooklyn Eckfords and the Brooklyn Excelsiors, who combined to dominate play through the late 1860s as part of the National Association of Base Ball Players. The first baseball game requiring paid admission was an all star contest between New York and Brooklyn in 1858. Brooklyn also featured the first two enclosed baseball grounds, the Union Grounds and the Capitoline Grounds, which accelerated the evolution of the game from amateurism to professionalism. Despite the success of Brooklyn clubs in amateur play, however, no strong Brooklyn-based club emerged after the first professional league, the National Association of Professional Baseball Players, was formed in 1871. The Brooklyn baseball club that would become the Dodgers was first formed in 1883, and joined the American Association the following year. The “Bridegrooms” won the AA pennant in 1889. Upon switching to the National League in 1890, the franchise became the only one in MLB history to win pennants in different leagues in consecutive years. Eight years passed before any more success followed. Several Hall of Fame players were sold to Brooklyn by the soon-to-be-defunct Baltimore Orioles, along with their manager, Ned Hanlon. Brooklyn was a sepearate City until it merged with New York City to become one of the 5 boroughs in 1898. The team name continued to include Brooklyn in the title. This catapulted Brooklyn to instant contention, and “Hanlon's Superbas” lived up to their name, winning pennants in 1899 and 1900. Teams of this era played in two principal ballparks, Washington Park and Eastern Park. They first earned the nickname “Trolley Dodgers,” later shortened to Dodgers, while at Eastern Park during the 1890s because of the difficulty fans had in reaching the ballpark due to the number of trolley lines in the area. The club also engaged in a series of mergers during this period, acquiring the New York Metropolitans in 1888 for territorial protection and star contracts, merging with the Brooklyn Wonders in 1891 as part of the Players League settlement, and merging with the Baltimore Orioles (NL) in 1900 as part of the National League's consolidation of clubs. In 1902, Ned Hanlon expressed his desire to buy a controlling interest in the team and move it (back, effectively) to Baltimore. His plan was blocked by a lifelong club employee, Charles Ebbets, who put himself heavily in debt to buy the team and keep it in the borough. Ebbets’ ambition did not stop at owning the team. He desired to replace the dilapidated Washington Park with a new ballpark, and again invested heavily to finance the construction of Ebbets Field, which would become the Dodgers' home in 1913. {Ebbets Field]] was the team's home park from 1913-1957.

After the 1957 season, the Brooklyn Dodgers moved to Los Angeles to become the Los Angeles Dodgers. In 1938, while studying in New York, Marie Arnoux became a fan of the Dodgers, and was a spectator at Waite Hoyt's last game that year. She briefly brought up the memory when she met Indiana Jones and George McHale in 1943. In 1941, when Indiana Jones doubted that Reginald Brooksbank had actually found the Akashic Hall of Records, Jones claimed that if Brooksbank could tell him who would win the 1941 World Series, he would believe him. A film recorded by Brooksbank revealed that the New York Yankees would eventually beat out the Brooklyn Dodgers, information that a believing Jones would pass on as a good betting tip to Bert Brodowski. Jones himself planned not to bet on the Yankees, because he was a Dodgers fan.
