On April 15 1947 in one of the most anticipated events in baseball history Jackie Robinson donned his Brooklyn Dodger uniform trotted out to the field against the Boston Braves and in one fell swoop obliterated the color line that had barred black players from playing major league baseball. Much has been written about the impact of that day and Jackie's 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 Jackie Robinson. Commensurate with his place in history collector demand for Jackie Robinson single signed baseballs continues to escalate.
This Robinson single signed baseball is certainly in the upper tier condition of examples we have handled. The Official National League (Ford C. Frick - NL President 1934-1951) baseball is signed on the panel below the sweet spot "Best Wishes Jackie Robinson" in about 7/10 looking blue ball point pen. The ball itself has somewhat toned over the years with a few small very light stains however its overall eye appeal of the ball remains great. Very nice Jackie single-signed baseball that based on the Frick stamping he likely signed early in his legendary Brooklyn Dodgers career.
