TODAY!! JACKIE ROBINSON made his MLB debut in 1947 at Ebbets Field
 

American Icon Jackie Robinson played 1st base at Ebbets field in front of a roaring crowd of 26,623. Roughly about 14,000 black patrons attended. Here's a original photo I owned that has changed many hands since I sold it.

Stay safe!

Great photo of a great man.

Just picked this up at the frame store today. Cuba, 1947, Spring Training.

I love this classic original vintage photo of Jackie...

One of my primary areas of collecting is Integration, so 4/15 is a bit of a celebration of that for me each year.

Here are a few pieces from Jackie's journey:

- 1935 John Muir High School signed yearbook. To the best of my knowledge, this is the earliest Jackie Robinson autograph in the hobby
- 1937 Pasadena Jr College signed yearbook
- 1946 Montreal Royals team signed baseball
- 1947 Brooklyn Dodgers team signed baseball

Always looking for other Pre-1947 Jackie items, particularly related to his time in WWII and the Negro Leagues.

Amazing stuff, y'all. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, that's incredible!
