Los Angeles Dodgers

Hey y'all! Looking for another version of the Los Angeles Dodgers? See its organization hub!

"Curve ball, high and outside for ball one. So the Dodgers are tied, 4-4. And the crowd well knows that with one swing of his bat, this fellow's capable of making it a brand-new game again. Just an absolutely gorgeous day here at Ebbets Field. The Phillies have managed to tie it up at 4-4. But the Dodgers have three men on. Pearson beaned Reiser in Philadelphia last month. Wouldn't the youngster like a hit here to return the favor? Pete leans in. Here's the pitch. Swung on. A line to the right. And it gets past Rizzo. Three runs will score. Reiser heads to third. Durocher's going to wave him in. Here comes the relay, but they won't get him."

History[]

Brooklyn Dodgers[]

"The Dodgers take the lead, 8-4. Oh, Dodgers! Everyone is on their feet. What a game we have here today, folks. What a game, indeed."

―Dodgers Newscaster^[src]

On May 25, 1941, the Brooklyn Dodgers played the Philadelphia Phillies at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn. In the Bottom of the sixth inning, Phil Reiser hit an inside-the-park grand slam, giving the Dodgers the lead. By the end of the game, the Dodgers won 8-4. Steve Rogers was at the game and remembered it fondly.^[1]

Jackie Robinson[]

In the 1940s, Jackie Robinson debuted for the Dodgers, becoming the first African-American man to play in the MLB, breaking the color barrier. A picture was taken of him sliding into a base while the baseman had the ball.^[2]

Leaving for California[]

"It's a... it's a book on politics and the social conditions that created hip-hop. The Dodgers left Brooklyn, Robert Moses created the Cross Bronx Expressway, and white folks went running for the suburbs."

―Koko^[src]

In the middle of the century, the Brooklyn Dodgers moved to Los Angeles, becoming the Los Angeles Dodgers. This instance hit the city hard and became known as a social condition that helped create hip hop.^[3]

Los Angeles Dodgers[]

"The game. It's from May 1941. I know, 'cause I was there. Now, I'm going to ask you again. Where am I?"

―Steve Rogers to S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent^[src]

Having been relocated to Los Angeles, the Dodgers still played strong. In 2011, Steve Rogers woke up from his almost seventy year coma and immediately heard the game from May 25, 1941 on the radio. S.H.I.E.L.D. had put it on in hopes of easing Rogers into the reality where he was seventy years out of place. However, Rogers caught on very quickly, remembering that he happened to be at the game. This caused Rogers to try to escape S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters.^[1]

Brady Kelly's Career[]

Brady Kelly joined the Los Angeles Dodgers and became known for how often he hit the ball. By 2016, Kelly had begun closing in on the record for most hits previously held by Pete Rose.^[4]
