Like so many professional ball clubs, the Los Angeles Dodgers started out with another name in another place. For the Dodgers it was Brooklyn, and they were known as the Brooklyn Dodgers.

This was a strong team from the start. Also known as the Bridegrooms, they won a pennant in the American Association in 1889. The rivalry between the Dodgers and the San Francisco Giants also goes back to this period. The Giants originally hail from Manhattan and the rivalry began when the two teams played against each other in New York. Today, they are both on the West Coast and still at it. Dodgers tickets for this classic match-up are highly sought-after.

It was Walter O'Malley who gained controlling interest in the team and finally moved it out to Los Angeles. Since moving to Los Angeles, the Dodgers have had an extremely exciting history. Of course, the amazing Dodger Stadium was built, and under the Lasorda years, there were many outstanding players in their ranks like Fernando Valenzuela, Steve Garvey and Orel Hershiser.

In the 2005 season, fan attendance grew to 3.6 million. To get Dodgers tickets with good seating, claim your seats at the start of the season.
