In a moment that transcended sports, Jackie Roosevelt Robinson made his Major League debut on April 11, 1947. This was the program issued that historic day, and the one offered here is unscored and NM with no creasing. The cover is dated 1946, but it was reused for the day of Robinson's debut. Baseball and American history collide in this seminal offering.

Addendum: This program is from an exhibition game from before the MLB season started on April 15th. Jackie did however play in this game.
