Presented is a Jackie Robinson signed and inscribed real photo 3.5x5.5" postcard. Robinson's breaking of the modern, Major League "Color Line" was a momentous event in baseball; moreover, it was a seminal event in the history of America. When Robinson made his Major League debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947, he didn't quietly enter the Major Leagues by the back door. Rather, in full view of the entire world, Robinson entered baseball by the front door in Brooklyn's Ebbets Field on April 15, 1947, and he did anything but blend in. No, Robinson took over. Dodging brushbacks and beanballs, avoiding upraised spikes, and figuratively fighting opposing players and even some of his own teammates, Robinson flourished. He was placed at first base rather than his more familiar second base position so that he could avoid takeout slides at second base on double plays. He became the National League Rookie of the Year, and he hit .297 and led the National League in steals (29) and sacrifices bunts (28). Robinson helped the Dodgers to six pennants and the 1955 World Championship. He was a 7-time All-Star who hit .311 in his career with the Dodgers, his sole Major League team. There is a facsimile Robinson inscription and signature at the bottom of the postcard. Robinson has actually inscribed and signed the card, using blue ink from a ballpoint pen, and he has neatly written, "Best Wishes Jackie Robinson." The postcard has been encapsulated and PSA/DNA certified as AUTHENTIC AUTO.
