Baseball has played a prominent role in the history of Park Slope area.  From 1879-1889, the Brooklyn Atlantic's (later became the Dodgers) played at Washington Park on 5th Ave, between 3rd & 4th Streets.  When the park was destroyed by a fire, the team moved to their part time home in Ridgewood Queens and then to a park in East New York.  In 1898 the "NEW" Washington Park was built between Third and Fourth   Ave and between First and Third Streets near the Gowanus Canal.  The team, by this point known as the Dodgers, played to an ever growing fan base at this location.  By the end  of the 1912 season, it was clear that the team had outgrown the field and the neighborhood.  

The team owner Charles Ebbetts moved the team to his Ebbetts Field Stadium in Flatbush for the beginning of the 1913 Season. The team went on to have historic cross town rivalries with both the New York Giants and New York Yankees.
