I learned something new today. I already knew that the Los Angeles Dodgers used to be the Brooklyn Dodgers, as most people do. What I learned this morning was that the Brooklyn Dodgers were orginally called the Brooklyn Trolley Dodgers, because of the abundance of trolleys on the streets of Brooklyn at the time (late 1880s).

I did a little research when I got to work and found that before Trolly Dodgers, they were called Bridegrooms, because so many had gotten married that year. Trolley Dodgers was a better choice, I think.
