In my book, Jackie Robinson was a really great BB player and more significantly....a great human being. As a young kid,
who has always been a Yankee fan, I was fortunate enough to see Jackie play from 1947 to 1956. Like Babe Ruth, Cap
Anson, Joe DiMag, Mickey Mantle (and others), I classify Jackie as a winner. During those years (1947-56), the Dodgers
won the NL Championship 6 years and Jackie was a significant factor in those victories.

Here is my 1947 Dodger Program (I think this is the 1st one with Jackie in the Line-Up).
