During the season, the Dodgers played eight home games at Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City, New Jersey, as part of owner Walter O'Malley's continued attempts to pressure Brooklyn to allow him to build a new stadium in his preferred location at Flatbush and Atlantic Avenues.
John Kennedy, the team's first black player, made his debut with the Phillies on April 22, 1957 at Roosevelt Stadium against the Brooklyn Dodgers.
