I happened to come across Flickr user oldballparks today thanks to a photo of Ebbets Field in the 1950s (above). At the moment, there are not quite 50 photos posted of various teams and ballparks, including a few others from Dodger history: Washington Park (home of the Superbas), the LA Coliseum, and the 1912 Brooklyn Dodgers team photo.
But of especial coolness are a series showing Ebbets Field under construction and brand-spanking new:
- Ebbets field under construction, 1913
- Ebbets Field, March 20, 1913
- Ebbets Field just after opening, 1913
- First game at Ebbets Field, April 5, 1913
Meanwhile, up here in the 21st Century, Flickr user eleveline has a set of pics from yesterday’s historical game versus the Padres in Beijing, China.
The Dodgers sure have come a long way.
