I just saw a commercial with Spike Lee about Jackie Robinson, in front of a facade that says Ebbets Field - and some banners in a library. Is there a library at the old Ebbets Field location?
As a man who spent part of his childhood om the corner of Montgomery Street and Dearborn Court, within easy walking distance of Ebbets Field, I have to say that the neighborhood was and is known as Crown Heights. But the immediate neighborhood had, before the construction of Ebbets Field, been known as Pig Town, because of all the pig farms there. Too Old 16:41, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Nowadays that area would undoubtedly be considered Flatbush or perhaps Lefferts Gardens. The nearby projects probably relegate it to Flatbush. Crown Heights used to be a larger and more ethnically based designation before the changing of Brooklyn's neighborhoods.
Duke Snider was known as "The Duke of Flatbush" -- for whatever reason, the field was always associated with that neighborhood.-- Amcalabrese ( talk) 22:37, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
Aside from the obvious Snider reference, I can think of a couple of others. It occurs to me that Flatbush is kind of a funny-sounding name, hence more colorful than Crown Heights but not so gross as Pigtown:
I've added a POV notice to the section above since it seems rather nostalgic, speaking of the "heartbroken" fans that the team abandoned, etc. It seems to have been written by someone with a pro-Dodgers POV. -- Tom ( talk - email) 13:20, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
Under the World Series titles at the bottom...............it should say six championships,......where is 1965????
Also, the "Mahatma" didn't move the team west, they called Branch Ricky Mahatma, not O'Malley.
1965 was at Los Angeles... not Brooklyn... and I believe the list was only listing the Brooklyn victories...
it says that ebbets field houses/apartments/homes have been renamed to jackie robinson but if you pass by it, it's still has in steel lettering and clearly says EBBETS FIELD. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.23.238.207 ( talk) 01:08, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
In the article, it clearly says (in a few different places) that the park opened on April 9th, 1913. However, the picture of Charles Ebbets' daughter throwing out the first pitch is hand dated April 5th, 1913. Also, under the legacy section, there is a picture that is captioned "Ray Caldwell pitching in the first game at Ebbets Field, April 5, 1913.". Which is the correct date? April 5th, or April 9th? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.214.101.206 ( talk) 17:18, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

The Brooklyn Dodgers could not have won 5 pennants in a row between 1949 and 1953. The Philadelphia Phillies were the NL pennant winners in 1950. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.219.78.139 ( talk) 13:22, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
My apologies. I re-read the article and it was vaguely mentioned in the story about "two games away." May need to clarify that the "two games out" happened in 1950, and the playoff heartbreak was caused by the "Shot Heard 'Round the World" in 1951. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.219.78.139 ( talk) 13:27, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
