The Los Angeles Dodgers are a Major League Baseball (MLB) team Located in Los Angeles, California. Los Angeles Dodgers are in the Western Division of the National League. Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team is started in Brooklyn before moving to Los Angeles for the 1958 season.
As the unattractive stepsister to the cross-town New York Giants and Yankees for many years, the Los Angeles Dodgers appeared in the 1940s and enjoyed huge success for nearly two decades in Flatbush, only to sadden their throngs by uprooting to the left coast in 1958.

In 1914, Wilbert Robinson took over the baseball team known as much as the Superbas as the Dodgers. Wilbert Robinson right away delivered the first winning season in Brooklyn in eleven years. Two years later, Los Angeles Dodgers won the NL pennant, led by Rube Marquard, Zack Wheat, Jake Daubert, and a 25-year old outfielder named Casey Stengel. The Red Sox outmatched them in the World Series, and four years soon after, the Indians did the same.

On the strength of those two pennants, Robinson managed Los Angeles Dodgers until 1931. Max Carey and Stengel followed with slight success, and it wasn't until Leo Durocher took control in the late 1930s that the Los Angeles Dodgers began to become the Dodgers. 1940 brought a second place finish and in 1941 the Los Angeles Dodgers won their third pennant, starting a franchise record with 100 victories. Though Durocher wouldn't survive the decade, the success did. Los Angeles Dodgers finished in the top three every season but one in the next 17 seasons.

The '41 team lost the World Series to the Yankees, an opponent that soon turned out to be a bitter rival. The two baseball clubs would meet in six World Series from 1947 to 1956. Only once did the Los Angeles Dodgers succeed. Three different managers guided the Los Angeles Dodgers team to pennants in the late 1940s and 1950s, but the arrival of Walter Alston provided strength. Alston led the Los Angeles Dodgers until late in 1976.

The Los Angeles Dodgers rolled into the 1950s behind Jackie Robinson, Reese, Carl Furillo, Duke Snider, , Roy Campanella, Gil Hodges, Carl Erskine, Andy Pafko, and Preacher Roe. Every baseball season, it seemed the Los Angeles Dodgers were drawn in a pennant race, with the Cardinals, Braves, Phillies, or Giants. In 1951, the Los Angeles Dodgers distorted down the stretch, permitting the hated Giants to catch them and force a playoff. Bobby Thomson's dramatic home run off Branca sealed the Los Angeles Dodgers fate in historic fashion in game three of the MLB baseball series.

"The Bums”, as they were commonly called by their own baseball fans, won the World Series in 1955, beating the hated New York Yankees in seven MLB baseball games, behind the pitching of Johnny Podres. In 1962, The Los Angeles Dodgers built a new state-of-the-art grass field after the end of the 1995 baseball season. Prescription Athletic Turf (PAT), formed and installed by the Cincinnati-based Motz Group, used the most advanced engineering technology to handle field moisture through controlled drainage and irrigation. A computer controller has the capability to reverse the scenario and sub irrigate when the sand's moisture reading drops below the most favorable level. Obviously, the changes have paid off when Sports Illustrated considered the Dodger Stadium field to be one of the best stadiums.
