 Los Angeles Dodgers : History : Dodgers Ballparks
The artful skill of dodging the trolley cars led Brooklyn fans to assume the moniker "Trolley Dodgers," which was eventually shortened and became the franchise name, the Brooklyn Dodgers.
For four seasons, the enormous stadium which was used for football and the 1932 Olympic Games (and again, in 1984) was fitted with a 40-foot screen in left field to help compensate for the fact that the wall was a meager 250 feet from home plate.
Dodger Stadium has hosted eight World Series and the Dodgers have won four World Championships (1963, 1965, 1981 and 1988), eight NL pennants (1963, 1965, 1966, 1974, 1977, 1978, 1981, 1988), nine NL Western Division crowns (1974, 1977, 1978, 1981, 1983, 1985, 1988, 1995, 2004) and one NL Wild Card berth (1996).

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.
The Dodgers again won the pennant in 1966, but the team was running out of gas and was swept by the upstart Baltimore Orioles (who went on to a successful run through the late '60s and early '70s).
The Dodgers won NL West titles in both 1977 and 1978, both times defeating the Philadelphia Phillies to advance to the World Series, only to be defeated both times by the Yankees.

 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.
