Summers, Herb.

Brooklyn, home to organized baseball since 1883 and initially nicknamed the Bridegrooms, won their first pennant in 1889. In the early 1900's, the most memorable events were the change of their nickname to the Dodgers, and their move to brand-new Ebbets Field in 1913. When Hall of Fame general manager Larry MacPhail left for the Army in World War II, Branch Rickey took over and signed Jackie Robinson in 1946. Robinson was the first African-American player to play in the major leagues. The golden Brooklyn decade ensued: six pennants in 10 years and in 1955 a World Series. At the end of 1957, they vacated Brooklyn for Los Angeles where they remain.
