At the turn of the century, Brooklyn was famous for its extensive trolley system, and the arrogant Manhattanites tagged Brooklynites with this unfavorable nickname. Various attempts were made to change the name from the Dodgers to the Robins, Superbas, and the Kings, but alas, the team was stuck with Dodgers. |
