What’s in a nickname? The name Dodgers has its roots in the 19th century and their original home, Brooklyn, New York. Back in the old days…and I mean really old, not pre-Internet…Brooklyn was a maze of interlocking, crisscrossing trolley lines. Residents of Brooklyn had to maneuver through the trolley traffic and were affectionately referred to as “trolley dodgers.”
