The Brooklyn Dodgers playing football at Ebbets Field, October 13, 1940. No, not those Dodgers. At that time there was a pro football team with the same name as the ballclub. To make matters even more confusing, there was also a New York Yankees football team that played at Yankee Stadium, and, of course, a New York Giants football team, although it no longer calls the Polo Grounds home.

Brooklyn won this game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, 21-0. Do they call it a shutout in football?
