After the seventh and final game of the World Series, Jackie Robinson and Yogi Berra shared a hug and some words before heading off to their locker rooms and an off-season to think about their futures. For Berra, it would be more baseball but nobody knew this was the last time Jackie Robinson would suit up in a major league uniform. A trade to the Giants and subsequent retirement of the cultural icon would take Jackie in a different direction. had anyone known this was his last game, it would have been a media frenzy, but since the future was uncertain, this is one of the final if not THE final image of Jackie in a Dodgers uniform ever taken! An important image in great shape that is one of the few photos of Robinson from his final game in the world!
