英语词汇dodgers的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Dodgers. The incomparable Brooklyn Dodgers, who became comparable after their move to Los Angeles, were called the Dodgers because Manhattanites contemptuously referred to all Brooklynites as “trolley dodgers” at the turn of the century, the bustling borough being famed for its numerous trolleys, espe- cially in the central Borough Hall area. Attempts were made to change the name to the Superbas, the Kings, and the Robins, all to no avail. Some baseball team names just seem to catch on while others don’t. The Boston Bees, for example, were named by a distinguished committee of baseball writers from a choice of 1,300 names, but people stubbornly called them the Braves, a name they retained after they moved to Milwaukee. The Cincinnati Reds tried to become known as the Redlegs to avoid identification with communism, but their name remains the Reds. See also dem bums.
