notes: label: Description
content: Brooklyn’s Ebbets Field was home to the National League franchise known primarily as the Dodgers from its opening in 1913 until the team’s move to Los Angeles in 1958. Named for owner Charles Ebbets, the stadium was home to nine World Series, with the Dodgers winning the trophy in 1955. In 1957, Jackie Robinson famously took the field for the Dodgers, becoming the first black player to break Major League Baseball’s infamous “color barrier.” Ebbets was also home to the Newark Eagles of baseball’s Negro Leagues, a handful of professional football teams, including the NFL’s Brooklyn Dodgers/ Tigers, and served as the site for many high-profile boxing and soccer events. The stadium was demolished in 1960.
