When Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in major league baseball in 1947, the idea of images like this seemed crazy to a huge number of Americans. Here we find the pioneer superstar, four seasons later, along with fellow black Hall of Famer Roy Campanella flanking their aged, white manager after a game in which the duo propelled the Dodgers to victory. A unique new discovery from photographer Fred Must of the New York Mirror, this is clear and beautiful with some wear on the right side being the only flaw. A socially important image of how the game of baseball was changing and soon, the world would change with it!
