Great photo. Good luck!
An often overlooked, or unknown, fact...The gentleman in-front of Jackie (one row down, one person to our left) is Dan Bankhead, the first African American Pitcher in MLB history. He came up in August of 1947. Further adding to the specialness of 1947, and this photo. |

Great insight. I definitely did not notice him and had forgotten about his late addition to the team in ‘47.
