Item Description
One of only two known examples, 2", no maker with about 50% brass luster still on the back and a fixed bar pin. Jackie Robinson made his Major League debut on April 15, 1947 for Branch Rickey's Brooklyn Dodgers, becoming the first African American ballplayer in the modern Major Leagues. Robinson would go on to win the National League Rookie of the Year award in 1947 and would follow that up with an NL MVP award two years later, in 1949. Robinson would finish his career with a .311 batting average along with 137 home runs, 734 RBI's, 947 runs scored and 197 stolen bases. Robinson was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962. Front has thin .25" line of stain on extreme edge at 5 o'clock but barely showing when viewed straight on. Very slight surface wear in reflected light. VF. Paul Muchinsky Collection.
