great!

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Standing portraits, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

An interesting sidelight to these old photos of Dodger players is that the Brooklyn team went through a number of name changes during its early years. Before joining the NL they had been variously known as the Atlantics, the Greys, the Grooms, and the Bridegrooms. If this photo dates from 1913, as indicated above, then the team was called the Brooklyn Superbas at the time. This was the name the team had adopted on joining the NL in 1899. They used the name Dodgers during the 1912 season (and maybe 1911- sources differ), but returned to their earlier name for the 1913 season. In 1914 they became the Brooklyn Robins, and then restored the name Dodgers in 1916. However, some sources say the team officially remained the Robins into the early 1930s. That the name Robins did continue in use at least into the 1920s is shown by various New York Times articles (such as this article of July 23, 1921) that use the names Robins and Dodgers interchangeably.

In 1915 Brooklyn was nicknamed the Robins not Dodgers.

True, Brooklyn Robins

These antique pictures are great. They allow us to really compare and acknowledge how much change has occurred over the years. This also give us a way to really appreciate the history.

I love the picture...some of the notes attached to the picture, not so much. It clearly states in your description that Stengel played for the Brooklyn Dodgers.

Casey Stengel played for the Brooklyn Ball Club from 1912 to 1917. The Club was called the Dodgers in only one year he played there, 1912. The next year(1913) they were named the Superbas. From 1914 to 1931 they were nicknamed the Robins. In 1932 they went back to the name Dodgers.

Nothing like a good Dodger game, and close to the action! Shortly after this photo binoculars were invented.

How many bases could someone like Lou Brock take on a pass ball???

A history of the park en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebbets_Field Brooklyn beat the Yankees 3-2 in the bottom on the 9th This was the first park to have shared armrests, instead of 2 on each chair, thereby giving extra large seats. I love all the advertising signs, Fatima cigarettes, Ever-ready safety razor, Imperial Beer, Green River Whisky, Clysmic (king of table waters) ,"Bull Durham", Johnson Brother's Lumber..
