On April 15 1947 in one of the most anticipated and publicized events in baseball history Jackie Robinson donned his Brooklyn Dodgers uniform (wearing No. 42) trotted out to the field against the Boston Braves to man first base and in an instant demolished the color line that had barred black players from playing in the major leagues. Much has been written about the impact of that day and Robinson’s admirable role in everything from sports in America to the dawning of the civil rights era but suffice it say that no single baseball player in our history had as much impact on our country and in our culture than Jack Roosevelt Robinson. He would earn Rookie of the Year honors that season and help Brooklyn claim the National League pennant the following year. Commensurate with his place in history collector demand for Jackie Robinson single-signed baseballs continues to escalate at a rapid pace.
Offered is a beautiful preserved Robinson single signed baseball that certainly ranks in the upper echelon of examples we've handled. The horsehide cover Spalding Official League Ball is signed by Robinson on the panel below the sweet spot in bold blue ball point pen. The ball itself has lightly toned over the years with a few small very light stains but overall its eye appeal remains strong. Excellent single signed baseball from the legendary Brooklyn Dodger Hall of Famer.
Includes full LOA from PSA/DNA (Auto. Grade: 8 Ball Grade: 6 Overall: 7).
