Ebbets Field
Once the home of the Brooklyn Dodgers and stomping grounds
of Jackie Robinson, Ebbets Field was located at the corner of
Bedford Avenue and Montgomery St. in what is now the Crown
Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn. The stadium, which was built
by architect Charles Ebbets, opened on April 9, 1913. The Dodgers
played there for 44 years until they moved to Los Angeles after
the 1957 season. Today, there is a housing complex in the place
where the baseball park once stood, situated between Medgar
Evers College and The Jackie Robinson School.
