Directly from the family estate collection of Barney Stein comes this brilliant original PSA/DNA Type 2 photograph of Jackie Robinson famously stealing home during Game 1 of the 1955 World Series at Yankee Stadium. There have been many shots taken at various angles of Jackie sliding over home plate under the tag of Yankees catcher Yogi Berra (who went to his grave believing Jackie was out) in the top of the 8th inning. This one by the renowned Dodgers photographer comes from a unique vantage point and provides great perspective of this iconic moment frozen in time, right before the umpire signals, "Saaaafe!"The pinpoint image is clear enough to make out hundreds of intense fan faces behind the Dodgers/visitor's dugout. Even though the Yankees took Game 1, Jackie's steal of home remains arguably the most famous stolen base in MLB history. The Dodgers would go on to win their only World Series in Brooklyn.This high-quality black and white original photo was printed off the original negative from the famous photographer's camera many years later. The reverse has a Barney Stein stamp. It comes with letters from PSA/DNA (Type 2) and Barney Stein's daughter.DATE: Sept. 28, 1955GENERATION: First (printed from original negative)PHOTOGRAPHER: Barney SteinPHOTO DIMS: 8 x 10CONDITION: MintPROVENANCE: Barney Stein's daughter, Bonnie (Stein) CrosbyAUTHENTICATION: PSA/DNA Type II LOA
