Mayor Fiorello La Guardia, honorary chairman of their tour, greeted 1936's champion "Maccabee" soccer team visiting from British mandate Palestine, here to play against the city's own All-Star team and American Soccer League team, as a fundraiser providing relief for Polish Jews, recently under siege by anti-Semitic riots.

Ebbets Field ca. 1929 The Brooklyn Dodgers won nine National League pennants at Ebbets Field during their tenure here (1913-57) but only one World Series (1955). On August 26, 1939, this park was the site of the first televised baseball game. It was also the site where, on April 15, 1947, Jackie Robinson, the first African-American baseball player in the major leagues, made his debut as first baseman for the Dodgers. With all this history it was a dark day in Brooklyn when Walter O'Malley moved "dem bums" to California at the end of the 1957 season. The field was demolished in 1960. The famous scoreboard clock is now at McCormick Field in Asheville, North Carolina.

In 1926 Europe's famed "Hakoah" (meaning: the strength, in Hebrew) team arrived here from their hometown of Vienna to play local soccer superstars "The Brooklyn Wanderers" well, it was front page news in the Forward..

In the first half of the 20th century, Jewish boxers were some of the most famous and feared athletes in the country.

In 2013 the Brooklyn Collection acquired several boxes of Brooklyn Dodgers memorabilia from Al Todres, a lifelong collector. Todres certainly wasn’t the only one actively collecting Brooklyn Dodgers material nearly 60 years after the team was transferred to Los Angeles. Why does a baseball team that left Brooklyn in the middle of the last century still inspire so much loyalty and curiosity? Every collector has a different answer, and it certainly goes beyond statistics and player performance. The team that would become the Dodgers played in Eastern Park when Brooklyn was still an independent city, through a depression and two world wars. The story of the Dodgers runs parallel to the development of modern Brooklyn, but it wasn’t always an easy story.

Ebbets Field, 1914.

Ebbets Field grandstand, from Bedford Avenue and Sullivan Place. June, 1929. The Ebbet's Field Ballpark was named after Charles Ebbets, owner of the Dodgers, who began the park's formation in 1905. Buying the land in small pieces, Ebbets was able, for about $100,000, to secure enough land to begin construction on the field. Though initially planned for 18,00 people, it was eventually expanded to be able to seat more than 31,000. From then on, it would serve as the home as the Dodgers from 1913 to 1957 when they left Brooklyn. By the 1940s the stadium began to suffer structurally and was already being overwhelmed by its limited capacity. These tensions, combined with the Dodger's owner Walter O'Malley getting into disputes with Robert Moses over the location of a new stadium, caused the team to be moved to Los Angeles in 1958. The beloved Ebbet's Field, at this point elderly and abandoned, was torn down and replaced by the Ebbets Field Apartments.

Crown Heights has a rich and diverse history. Though it began as farmland, it developed as a fashionable locale for the second homes of bourgeois Manhattanites. Eastern Parkway soon was studded with cultural institutions and mansions. Furthermore, the 20th century marked an influx of Jewish and later Caribbean immigration, with both communities infusing Crown Heights with new cultures and making their mark on the neighborhood.

The features of the modern-day clown are said to come from multiple mediums: the British theater of Joseph Grimaldi, the early circus of Philip Astley, and Leoncavallo's opera Pagliacci. The clown is a derivative of the Ancient Greek and Roman Zanni, or "rustic fool." Initially created as an accompaniment to the witty Harlequin, the clown has evolved into the stand-alone character we are familiar with today.

These two teams (which now play on opposite sides of the country) have been rivals since they met at the 1941 World Series. The Brooklyn Dodgers lost to the Bronx-repping Yankees 4-7 in 1941. This spurred rivalry that has lasted decades.

From its beginning, the Forward covered sports – the sports of chess and fishing, that is. In fact, its early highbrow sports coverage was a bit of a joke around town. But by the 1920s, the Forward’s sports pages began to give its readers the baseball news they wanted.
