The last home run at Ebbets Field came on September 22, 1957, two days before the final game at Ebbets Field. Duke Snider hit his 39th and 40th homers of the season in a 7-3 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies, giving him five straight seasons with 40 or more home runs. These two homers also went down in history as the last ones hit at Ebbets Field.
Two days later, after a 3-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Dodgers said goodbye to Ebbets Field, their home for 44 years. The field area was turned into housing developments in 1963, and was later re-named the Jackie Robinson Apartments in 1972.
