Talk:Ebbets Field

message: As a man who spent part of his childhood om the corner of Montgomery Street and Dearborn Court, within easy walking distance of Ebbets Field, I have to say that the neighborhood was and is known as Crown Heights.  But the immediate neighborhood had, before the construction of Ebbets Field, been known as Pig Town, because of all the pig farms there. Too Old 16:41, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

text: Media searching for a synonym for "Brooklyn" typically said "Flatbush", whether that was technically correct or not. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots 23:47, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Guanus Ridge was the original boundary between the Towns of Flatbush and Bushwick, so indeed this was deep inside Flatbush.  That ridgeline is now Eastern Parkway.  As the the towns divided and became wards of the City of Brooklyn and the neighborhoods changed in later centuries, the old township names continuously receded and now only name small parts of their original territories.  So, what it was "in the old days" depends on which particular old days are in mind.  Jim.henderson (talk) 22:48, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Which suggests the related point that after 1898, the Brooklyn Dodgers could just as well, and legitimately, called themselves the New York Dodgers, but they chose not to. Conversely, the New York Yankees and New York Mets could have called themselves the Bronx Yankees and the Queens (or Flushing) Mets, but they chose not to.

thread_title:  Flatbush? 

message: I've added a POV notice to the section above since it seems rather nostalgic, speaking of the "heartbroken" fans that the team abandoned, etc.  It seems to have been written by someone with a pro-Dodgers POV. --Tom (talk - email) 13:20, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

message: it says that ebbets field houses/apartments/homes have been renamed to jackie robinson but if you pass by it, it's still has in steel lettering and clearly says EBBETS FIELD.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.23.238.207 (talk) 01:08, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  ebbets field today 

message: In the article, it clearly says (in a few different places) that the park opened on April 9th, 1913.  However, the picture of Charles Ebbets' daughter throwing out the first pitch is hand dated April 5th, 1913.  Also, under the legacy section, there is a picture that is captioned "Ray Caldwell pitching in the first game at Ebbets Field, April 5, 1913.".  Which is the correct date?  April 5th, or April 9th?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.214.101.206 (talk) 17:18, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: There was an exhibition game against the Yankees on the 5th. The official opening came against the Phillies on the 9th. I've tried to clarify that point in the article. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 19:52, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: New ballparks often have exhibitions that precede the official openers. It's a way to run a "User Acceptance Test", to be sure everything is in working order. Target Field had 2 exhibitions and a Gophers game prior to the official opening. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 19:54, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

message: The Brooklyn Dodgers could not have won 5 pennants in a row between 1949 and 1953.  The Philadelphia Phillies were the NL pennant winners in 1950.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.219.78.139 (talk) 13:22, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  1950? 

message: My apologies.  I re-read the article and it was vaguely mentioned in the story about "two games away."  May need to clarify that the "two games out" happened in 1950, and the playoff heartbreak was caused by the "Shot Heard 'Round the World" in 1951.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.219.78.139 (talk) 13:27, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
