Brooklyn Dodgers

The Brooklyn Dodgers were a professional baseball team based in Brooklyn, New York, that played in Major League Baseball's National League. Founded in the 19th century, they became famous in the 20th century for their talented players and passionate fan base. Known for their innovative playing style and rivalries, especially with the New York Yankees, they broke racial barriers by signing Jackie Robinson in 1947, the first African American to play in the modern MLB. In 1958, the team moved to Los Angeles, becoming the Los Angeles Dodgers, marking a significant shift in baseball history and expanding the sport's popularity on the West Coast.
