In 1915 Brooklyn was nicknamed the Robins not Dodgers.

These antique pictures are great. They allow us to really compare and acknowledge how much change has occurred over the years. This also give us a way to really appreciate the history.

I love the picture...some of the notes attached to the picture, not so much. It clearly states in your description that Stengel played for the Brooklyn Dodgers.

Casey Stengel played for the Brooklyn Ball Club from 1912 to 1917. The Club was called the Dodgers in only one year he played there, 1912. The next year(1913) they were named the Superbas.
From 1914 to 1931 they were nicknamed the Robins. In 1932 they went back to the name Dodgers.

Today's baseball uniforms don't quite live up to the high socks, baggy pants, and heavy fabrics of the past. Love the style here.

My favorite photo of the Old Professor as a youngster. Love the shades.

The Superbas was a great name, but the Bridegrooms took the cake. LOL
