Presented is a 1947 Brooklyn Dodgers team photo taken by legendary photographer Barney Stein. The photo shows the Dodgers, in home uniforms, in the Ebbets Field clubhouse just after clinching the '47 pennant with a 6-1 win over the team's bitter rivals, the New York Giants. Among those visible in the photo: Hall of Famer Gil Hodges (back row - second from left), right fielder Carl Furillo (on the left of the four players behind the piano), and what appears to be a partial shot of Hall of Famer Duke Snider, (back row, on far right). Sitting at the piano is Brooklyn manager Burt Shotton, who managed in street clothes, but usually wore a Dodgers hat and Dodgers jacket. To Shotton's left is catcher Bobby Bragan, playing the piano. The tall, hatless player, a few feet to the left of Bragan, is Dixie Walker, who led the '50 Dodgers with 94 RBIs.

In the back corner of the room is Dodgers pitcher Dan Bankhead, the first African American pitcher in the modern Major Leagues, who pitched four innings of scoreless relief to save the game for Brooklyn starter Joe Hatten. To Bankhead's left, with a handlebar mustache and civilian hat is John Griffin, the large Brooklyn Clubhouse man who liked to wear funny hats, smoke big cigars and use humor to keep the Dodgers loose. For some reason, Jackie Robinson, who in '47 broke the Major League color line and was the NL Rookie of the Year, is not in the photo. 

The 8x10" team photo has paper loss, of approx. a half inch, in the top left corner. There is some light crinkling in the three other corners, and some other spots, mostly in the lower right. There are pinholes, used to hang the photo, in the three intact corners. Stamped on back: "N.Y. Post/Staff Photo/Barney Stein."
