Brooklyn Bridegrooms is one of the many former names of the MLB team now known as the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The present day Dodgers were known as the Bridegrooms between 1888-1898. Legend has it that the name was coined by their manager, William McGunnigle, when several of their players were married within a couple months of each other prior to the 1888 season. When new ownership took over for the 1899 season, Bridegrooms was dropped in favor of Superbas.
