Default Baseball Team Names
Posted By: Harry

American Association team in hte 1880's. They were also known as the Bridegrooms, but never as solely the Dodgers.

The Brooklyn Dodgers (The National League Team) simply shortened the name of the previous Brooklyn club (which as very popular in the day) and came up with Dodgers.
