Los Angeles, CA - April 15: Former Los Angeles Dodgers Tommy Davis, member of the 1963 World Series team and a two-time NL batting champ who holds the Dodgers single-season records with 230 hits and 153 RBIs passed away at the age of 83.Former Brooklyn Dodgers' pitcher Don Newcombe, right, with former Los Angeles Dodgers' Dodgers, Sweet Lu Johnson, center, and Tommy Davis, left, on Jackie Robinson Day prior to a baseball game between the San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers in Los Angeles on Sunday, April 15, 2012.

Monday night was a notable game in franchise history for the Dodgers, and not just because the team played their first extra-inning game of 2026, snapping a 91-game stretch that was the second-longest to open a season without playing past nine innings, seven games behind the 2005 Boston Red Sox.
The series opener against the Colorado Rockies was more historical, encompassing the entirety of 143 years as a franchise. Between the regular season and postseason combined, the Dodgers in Brooklyn played 11,109 games. Monday night was the Dodgers’ 11,109th such game since moving to Los Angeles.
The franchise started in Brooklyn in 1884 in the American Association, where they would play for six seasons before joining the National League in 1890.
The World Series as we know it didn’t begin until 1903, but earlier attempts to determine a champion were less series. For example, the Dodgers won the National League in 1890 and played the American Association-champion Louisville Cardinals in the “World’s Championship Series,” but the series ended in a tie (3-3-1) and was never settled. The Dodgers’ only other 19th century postseason was in 1889, when they lost in the postseason to the NL-champion New York Giants, six games to three.
Brooklyn also finished first in the National League in both 1899 and 1900, but had no postseason to play.
In the modern era, the Brooklyn Dodgers played in nine World Series, totaling 56 games. Since moving to Los Angeles, the Dodgers have played in 14 World Series and 79 Fall Classic games, but also 174 other postseason games.
| Location | Games | Record | Pennants | Titles |
| Brooklyn (1884-1957) | 11,109 | 5,650-5,325-134 | 13 | 1 |
| Los Angeles (1958-2026) | 11,109 | 6,094-5,009-6 | 14 | 8 |
At the moment, 143 years of Dodgers history is perfectly balanced between Brooklyn and Los Angeles.
