Dodgers

A Dodgers game is interrupted by the materialisation of the Sixth Doctor's TARDIS on the field. (COMIC: Time Bomb)

The Dodgers were a baseball team from New York City. The Sixth Doctor and Frobisher dropped Peri Brown off in New York City to watch a Dodgers game. Returning to pick her up, the Doctor attempted to land his TARDIS in the stadium to avoid paying. He materialised on the field itself, much to the players' confusion. (COMIC: Time Bomb)

Behind the scenes

• In the real world the full name of the team was the "Brooklyn Dodgers," though Time Bomb only refers to them as the "Dodgers".
• In Time Bomb the Dodgers' home stadium is referred to as "Dodgers Stadium" instead of its correct name "Ebbets Field". This was acknowledged in the letters column of DWM 117 by the Doctor Who Magazine editors as a production error, in response to reader mail pointing it out. In the real world, the Dodgers did not play at the similarly named Dodger Stadium until after the team moved from Brooklyn, New York to Los Angeles, California.
• The year in which Peri attends a Dodgers game is not given in Time Bomb but as the game is happening in New York City it would take place in 1957 at the latest, before the team moved to Los Angeles, California in 1958.
