Ebbets Field by Al Sorenson Baseball Art Giclee

Probably the most popular stadium in the history of baseball is the home of the Brooklyn Dodgers, Ebbets Field. Located on the site of an old garbage dump, in the pig town section of Brooklyn, the ball park provided the fans with an intimate look at their local heroes. The right field wall had all sorts of bends and twists, which created havoc as outfielders tried to read caroms off the wall. The scoreboard actually added other bends and twists and more problems for outfielders. A local clothier promised a suit to any player that would hit his bill board. Ebbets Field housed rabid, loyal fans that loved their Dodgers, and loved baseball. The fandom created nicknames that would live on in the lore of baseball. Stan “The Man” Musual. Dixie Walker, “the People’s Cherce”, Paul and Lloyd Waner, “Big Poison and Little Poison”, Carl Erskine “Oisk”. Sadly, the team abandoned Brooklyn in 1957, only two years removed from winning the World Series for the first time. Ebbets Field stood for two more years, hosting an occasional soccer game. In February 1960, the stadium fell under the spell of a wrecking ball, and now a housing complex stands on the site. To fans of this team, the demolition of Ebbets Field was like a death in the family, and the pain still hurts some fifty years later..
