From 1948, presented here is an iconic Original News Service Associated Press Type I image of baseball and cultural hero Jackie Robinson in a cloud of dust, JACKIE SLIDES INTO HOME, as only he could.
In this image that perfectly captures the essence of Jackie, his Brooklyn Dodgers teammate George "Shotgun" Shuba (#8) looks on. What a moment in time, as the catcher (Cubs Bob Scheffing #10) is lunging to tag Jackie and the umpire poised to make the call. We think Jackie is "safe", by the way!
The photo measures 7 1/4" X 9 1/4" and is neatly encapsulated in a PSA jumbo holder for your enjoyment! The image is in excellent condition.
