1949 Incredible photograph from before the start of the season and capturing the three "Brooklyn Dodgers Negroes" in uniform and posing together at the ballpark. Included is Jackie Robinson as well as the catcher who joined him the previous year, Roy Campanella, as well as the new arrival in the form of pitching star Don Newcombe. A powerful image from a time when the game was changing and capturing the men and the team most responsible for the change! Stamped on the back by the Central Press and dated from before the start of the season, the image quality is clear and despite some crazing and editorial painting, it is in pretty nice shape overall. A potentially unique image that is a powerful piece of baseball history!
