	Brooklyn Atlantics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Atlantic held the championship again through the 1861 season, which was shortened due to the Civil War, before finally surrendering it to archrival Eckford of Brooklyn in 1862.
		Atlantic was not invited to join the National League when that circuit was formed in 1876, but continued to play an independent schedule until at least 1881.
		When the AA subsequently granted a franchise to the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1884 to serve the Brooklyn market, they were referred to as the Atlantics during their first season of play and for many years thereafter on an informal basis by fans and in the press.

		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.
		Brooklyn fans had their memory of triumph, and soon that would be all they were left with.

	Brooklyn Dodgers (1890-1957)
		Brooklyn was the home of the greatest armature team the Brooklyn Atlantics who were even the first to defeat the Professional Cincinnati Red stockings in 1870 despite having several players raided off their roster for the original Cincinnati professional team.
		Brooklyn was able to keep most of its players, which helped them in a NL weekend by players departing, and established clubs for the outlaw Player's League.
		The infusion of new talent worked wonders, as Brooklyn (with a new nickname, the Superbas) took the NL lead in late May, during a 22-game winning streak, and held it the rest of the way to win their 2nd pennant with a 101-47 record.

	Gothams Schedule
		The Atlantics were thrown off balance by Coach's fine pitching and an excellent catch by Spike on a one-hopper just over his head at shortstop to Chicago them in the first.
		One more ace was tallied by the Atlantics in the 4th, but the Gotham defense prevented addition aces on an amazing snare of a one-hopper by Coach on the mound, some fancy footwork by Billy at second, and an amazing recovery and one-handed catch of a deep fly to center by the Gotham centerfielder Mixer.
		The Atlantics were again aided by a Home Run by Flash (which was assisted by a tree coming down and swatting Scratch's throw from the outfield), fine defense by TC in left, Toothpick in Center, Shakespeare at 3rd, and the Dream at short to build there 9-0 victory.

	Brooklyn
		There aren't many Brooklyn streets to be found, although people do travel quite a bit by the trolleys that gave the Dodgers -- originally the Trolley Dodgers, named after all those Brooklyn residents who risked life and limb on a daily basis jumping across the ubiquitous trolley tracks -- their name.
		Brooklyn, that is. The old limestone and brick brownstones had iron-work patterns on heavy wooden doors.
		Although it is one of the few Brooklyn mysteries approaching the streets of Marine Park, tucked in between southern Flatbush Avenue and Sheepshead Bay, in the hands of Robert Leigh, Brooklyn is reduced to a few street names (some of which are fictional) and a sprinkling of storefronts.
