Directly from the family estate collection of Barney Stein comes this original PSA/DNA Type 2 photo of Jackie Robinson speaking with the press following Game 6 of the 1956 World Series. The game was still scoreless in the bottom of the ninth inning when Jackie singled off Yankees starter Bob Hurley to drove in Jim Gilliam with the winning run. Jackie is showing the reporters with his arm outstretched how his liner to left gave Dodgers starter Clem Labine the 1-0 shutout victory. How do we know all this?

Game 6 was Jackie's final game at Ebbets Field. The walk-off single was his final MLB hit. This special photo was printed off its original negative from the famous Dodgers photographer's camera many years later. The reverse has a red Barney Stein stamp. It comes with letters from PSA/DNA (Type 2) and Barney Stein's daughter.
