1949 Photograph of members of the Brooklyn Dodgers as they talk with General Manager Branch Rickey before the start of the World Series against the Yankees. Dominating the image is the duo that changed the world forever in 1947, Rickey and Jackie Robinson but superstar slugger Gil Hodges and Gene Hermanski also join in on the conversation as well. Issued by the Associated Press and with a detailed paper caption on the back, this is a fine looking example but some wear and paper loss on the lower right keep the technical grade down.
