The L.A. Dodgers play baseball in the West Division of Major League baseball's National League. The franchise's history goes all the way back to 1883 in Brooklyn, New York where the team had a few different nicknames - from the Atlantics, to the Superbas, to the Trolley Dodgers to the Bridegrooms just to name a few. The Dodgers would win multiple National League Pennants and one World Series before relocating to Los Angeles, California in 1958. The '50s and '60s were good to the team, winning 4 World Series under manager Walter Alston. Tommy Lasorda, the team's next manager would lead them to two more World Series titles in the 1980's.
