One of the most important Jackie Robinson documents we have handled - the first was pre-MLB career. This is the other side of the coin, showing his post-career highlights. In this list, he cites that the biggest thrill of his major league career was "Winning the World Series in 1955." Jackie also talks of his historic start breaking the MLB color line in "1947" and reveals that his toughest pitcher to hit was Ewell "Blackwell." The park where things broke in his favor was "Ebbets Field" and his favorite goal was to "Become a better Baseball player." Beautiful 9/10 (PSA/DNA encapsulated) blue ink signature, NM condition. Of all the marvelous Robinson documents we have handled, courtesy of Rachel Robinson, this ranks near the top!
