What was the name of the Dodgers' home stadium during Robinson's career?
Answer
Ebbets Field
Answer
Ebbets Field
The Dodgers' home stadium during Jackie Robinson's career was Ebbets Field. Located in Brooklyn, New York, the ballpark was the home of the Brooklyn Dodgers from 1913 through 1957, including Robinson's entire major-league career from 1947 to 1956.
Ebbets Field became especially important in baseball history when Robinson made his Brooklyn debut there on April 15, 1947. By becoming the first African American player in Major League Baseball's modern era, he helped transform the stadium into one of the defining sites of the civil-rights era in American sports. The Dodgers won the 1947, 1949, 1952, 1953, 1955 and 1956 National League pennants while Robinson played for them.
A common mix-up is Dodger Stadium, which opened in Los Angeles in 1962, five years after the Dodgers left Brooklyn. Ebbets Field hosted the Brooklyn club's final game in 1957, was demolished in 1960, and its former site is now occupied by the Ebbets Field Apartments. The Dodgers' only Brooklyn-era World Series championship came in 1955.
