Ebbets

/ˈɛbɪts/ noun

Definition

Proper noun typically referring to Ebbets Field in Brooklyn, or the plural of 'ebbet' if that were used as a countable noun.

Etymology

From Charles Ebbets, owner of the Brooklyn Dodgers baseball team, whose name was given to the iconic stadium Ebbets Field, opened in 1913.

Kelly Says

The Dodgers left Brooklyn in 1957, moving to Los Angeles, and Ebbets Field was demolished — it's now considered one of sports' greatest heartbreaks and sparked modern fan activism.
