Brooklyn Dodger Autographs
Brooklyn Dodger autographs have special appeal for thousands of dedicated fans of the legendary team. Although Brooklyn had baseball teams in the mid 1800s, many experts consider the Brooklyn Atlantics, founded in 1883, to be the original team of the Brooklyn Dodgers. The team went through many transformations before becoming officially known as the Brooklyn Dodgers in the 1930s.
In 1913, the Brooklyn Dodgers began playing at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn, New York. In 1939, the Brooklyn Dodgers made history when they became the first team in New York to broadcast by radio the events of a major league game, and the first major league team to televise a major league game. Major figures of baseball participated in early Dodger history including Wilbert Robinson who managed the team for 1,375 wins, Casey Stengel who started as manager for the Brooklyn team in 1934, and the legendary Babe Ruth who in 1938, had his first and only coaching job for the Brooklyn Dodgers. Baseball fans avidly collect seek autographs from these early figures.
Mainly through the brave efforts of Dodger Manager Branch Rickey, Jackie Robinson became one of the first African American players on a major league team. A witness to Dodger games described Robinson's presence as "electrifying." Along with Rex Barney, Roy Campanella, Carl Erskine, Carl Furillo, Gil Hodges, Sandy Koufax, Pee Wee Reese, Duke Snider, and many other legendary players, the team captured the imagination and loyalty of Brooklyn baseball fans that especially loved to cheer the team when they played the rival New York Yankees. Baseball writer Roger Kahn described the Brooklyn team in a baseball book as "The Boys of Summer".
Autographs from the "Boys of Summer" from Brooklyn occasionally appear on the autograph marketplace in the form of slips of paper, signed photos, documents, signed gloves, and signed baseballs. Duke Snider provided thousands of his autographs at signing events. Baseballs signed by Gil Hodges can range in cost from about $300 to $750, depending on condition and quality of his signature. However, gloves and original uniforms signed by players of the Brooklyn Dodgers have sold at auction for thousands of dollars.
The final Brooklyn Dodgers game was played on September 24, 1957, when they handily beat the Pittsburgh Pirates. Much to the disappointment of loyal Brooklyn fans, the Dodgers moved one year later to Los Angeles. The era of major league Brooklyn baseball had come to an end with only memories, nostalgia and Brooklyn Dodger autographs that remind us of a much beloved time in the annals baseball.
