Picked up my first lineup cards after reading this and other threads and the interview last year or so with Jeff. Has been a lot of fun. My thought is to find April 15 Dodger lineup cards (Official or unofficial Jackie Robinson Day) or build a small collection with a lineup from each of the Dodger managers--as far back as I can find and afford. Anyone with spares? I'd be interested, as funds allow.
4/15/99 - Davey Johnson
8/28/2020 - Chris Woodward (Rangers)
Due to Covid, Jackie Robinson Day plans changed in 2020. The season was not underway in April. The rescheduled JR Day was set to 8/28 in honor of the March of Washington in 1968 and the day Jackie signed with the Dodgers 8/28/1945. The Dodgers were not at home on the new date, but away at Globe Life Field--a foreshadowing of the World Series location. And on this day, Chadwick Boseman died, the actor who famously played Jackie Robinson in the film 42.
A fun start!
