1912. The Brooklyn Base Ball Club (future L.A. Dodgers) pose in the bleachers at spring training in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Manager Bill Dahlen is seated in the front row, to the right of the standing boy. At the time, the team was informally nicknamed "Superbras" (named for a Vaudeville act popular at the time) and "Trolley Dodgers" (named for a common pedestrian experience on Brooklyn streets at the time). They would formally become the "Brooklyn Dodgers" in 1932 and "Los Angeles Dodgers" in 1958.
