Бывший стадион в Бруклине, Нью-Йорк
the former stadium in Brooklyn, New York, United States
Eastern Park was a baseball park in the Brownsville neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York in the 1890s. It was bounded by Eastern Parkway—later renamed Pitkin Avenue when Eastern Parkway was diverted—to the north (home plate); the Long Island Rail Road's Bay Ridge Branch and Vesta Avenue (later renamed Van Sinderen Avenue) to the east (left field); Sutter Avenue to the south (center field); and Powell Street to the west (right field). The ballpark held 12,000 people. It was originally the home of the Brooklyn Ward's Wonders of the Players' League in 1890. After the one year Players' League experiment, the park became the part time home of the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1891 and then full time during 1892–1897, between their stints at the two versions of Washington Park. Some sources erroneously say that it is here that the nickname "Trolley Dodgers", later shortened to "Dodgers", first arose, due to the need for fans to cross various trolley lines to reach the ballpark. Although the Dodgers played at Eastern Park in 1895 when the name "Trolley Dodgers" was first used, the name was based on the dangers of trolleys in Brooklyn, generally, and not trolley lines that needed to be crossed to get to the game. There were no trolley lines near Eastern Park at the time. Eastern Park was considered difficult to reach, and although the team survived there for seven seasons, the venture there was a failure. When Charlie Ebbets acquired the Dodgers, he moved the team back, to the second version of Washington Park, which was both closer to the city center and offered a lower rent. The park also hosted numerous college and amateur football games during its heyday, notably the Princeton–Yale game of 1890. There was also a track installed, and both bicycling and running races were held from time to time. It was also the home venue of the short lived Brooklyn Bridegrooms Soccer Team in 1894. This was a spin off of the Baseball Franchise that took part in an ill fated attempt by six baseball franchises to fill their stadiums in the off season by running a soccer league. Brooklyn were top of the league when the uncompleted season was cancelled and play never resumed.
Бывший стадион в Бруклине, Нью-Йорк, США. Восточный парк был бейсбольным стадионом в районе Браунсвилл Бруклина, Нью-Йорк, в 1890-х годах. Он был ограничен Восточной Парквей (позже переименованной в Питкин-авеню после изменения маршрута Восточной Парквей) с севера (домашняя база); железнодорожной веткой Bay Ridge компании Long Island Rail Road и Веста-авеню (позже переименованной в Ван-Синдерен-авеню) с востока (левое поле); Саттер-авеню с юга (центр поля); и Пауэлл-стрит с запада (правое поле). Стадион вмещал 12 000 зрителей. Первоначально в 1890 году он был домашней ареной команды Brooklyn Ward's Wonders из Лиги игроков. После годичного эксперимента с Лигой игроков, в 1891 году парк стал временной домашней ареной для Brooklyn Dodgers, а затем постоянной в период с 1892 по 1897 год, между их выступлениями на двух версиях Washington Park. Некоторые источники ошибочно утверждают, что именно здесь возникло прозвище "Trolley Dodgers", позже сокращенное до "Dodgers", из-за необходимости для болельщиков пересекать различные трамвайные линии, чтобы добраться до стадиона. Хотя "Dodgers" играли на Восточном парке в 1895 году, когда впервые было использовано название "Trolley Dodgers", это название было связано с опасностью трамваев в Бруклине в целом, а не с трамвайными линиями, которые нужно было пересечь, чтобы попасть на игру. В то время рядом с Восточным парком не было трамвайных линий. Восточный парк считался труднодоступным, и, хотя команда продержалась там семь сезонов, предприятие оказалось неудачным. Когда Чарли Эббетс приобрел "Dodgers", он перенес команду обратно на вторую версию Washington Park, которая была ближе к центру города и предлагала более низкую арендную плату. В период своего расцвета парк также принимал многочисленные матчи по американскому футболу среди колледжей и любительских команд, в частности, матч Принстон — Йель 1890 года. Была установлена беговая дорожка, и время от времени проводились велосипедные и беговые соревнования. В 1894 году на этом стадионе играла футбольная команда Brooklyn Bridegrooms. Это было ответвление от бейсбольной франшизы, которая приняла участие в неудачной попытке шести бейсбольных франшиз заполнить свои стадионы в межсезонье, организовав футбольную лигу. "Бруклин" лидировал в лиге, когда незавершенный сезон был отменен, и игры больше не возобновлялись.
