Brooklyn Dodgers played at Ebbets
Yankees and Giants shared the Polo Grounds (which was technically Polo Grounds IV, but that doesn't really matter)

If I remember correctly, it was because the Giants kicked the Yankees out a year later that Yankees Stadium was biult (and built quickly)

From 1914 - 1931 the Dodgers were known as the Brooklyn Robins in honor of manager Wilbert Robinson.
