The 1947 Brooklyn Dodgers made history by integrating Major League Baseball with the inclusion of Jackie Robinson, who broke the color barrier as the first African American player in the league. Under the management of Burt Shotton, the Dodgers finished the season as National League champions. Robinson's remarkable debut was not only a significant milestone in baseball but also a pivotal moment in American civil rights history. His exceptional talent and resilience on the field, combined with his courageous stand against racial segregation, helped the Dodgers secure the National League pennant and set the stage for future integration in sports. Robinson's impact extended far beyond the diamond, symbolizing progress and inspiring change throughout the nation.

The baseball includes an official James Spence Authentication (JSA) hologram and matching LOA for authenticity purposes.
