Hereof, what are the Dodgers named after?
The term "Trolley Dodgers" was attached to the Brooklyn ballclub due to the complex maze of trolley cars that weaved its way through the borough of Brooklyn. The name was then shortened to just "Dodgers." During the 1890s, other popular nicknames were Ward's Wonders, Foutz's Fillies and Hanlon's Superbas.

- Los Angeles Dodgers Although in 1956, when the team was in Brooklyn, the Dodgers employed clown Emmett Kelly, whose "Weary Willie" persona represented a "bum."
Similarly, you may ask, why don t the Dodgers have a mascot?
Steve Dilbeck of the L.A. Times reports that the Dodgers have a person wearing a Dodgers uniform with a large head walking around the ballpark entertaining people, posing for pictures and the like. Most people call that a mascot. “It's not a mascot,” said Dodgers executive vice president of marketing Lon Rosen.
For the record: Lou Seal really is a boy. Just ask Joel Zimei, who sweats inside the suit at every game. Since 1999, he has been the only one walking in Lou Seal's flippers.
