Fantastic image of Jackie Robinson being congratulated by Chuck Dressen in the rowdy Dodger locker room. Robinson has just hit an upper deck home run in the 14th inning off Robin Roberts to give the Dodgers a critical 9-8 win over the Phillies. Not only that but Jackie saved the game in the 13th by making a great catch of an Eddie Waitkus line drive throwing to second for a double play injuring his elbow. This victory keeps the Brooklyn’s in a first place tie with the Giants and send them into the famed playoff series that made Bobby Thomson & Ralph Branca household names. 5x7” in original envelope.
