Charles Ebbets' acquisition of the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1897 marked a transformative period for the team, especially with his efforts to establish a permanent home.
By 1912, Ebbets had taken substantial risks, including selling part of his ownership, to fund the construction of Ebbets Field, a crucial milestone for the Dodgers.
Ebbets Field, inaugurated in 1913, captivated the local community, drawing an estimated 35,000 fans to its first game, demonstrating the Dodgers' popular support.
Under Ebbets' leadership, the Dodgers clinched multiple National League pennants and solidified their place in baseball history before moving to Los Angeles.
