Summary:"In 1883, urbane real estate investor Charles Byrne and hustling news editor George J. Taylor joined forces to create the club that would become the Brooklyn Dodgers. Nicknamed the "Bridegrooms" by sportswriters after several players got married, they won their first major league pennants in 1889 and 1890 under pioneering manager Bill "Gunner" McGunnigle"--Provided by publisher.
