☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe story chronicles Jackie Robinson's 1947 rookie season, beginning with his receipt of the Rookie-of-the-Year Award and highlighting his breakthrough performances with the Brooklyn Dodgers. Key moments include Robinson stealing his twenty-first base on August 18, batting .296 with 28 doubles, 8 triples, and 12 home runs, and helping the Dodgers mount a late-season surge against the Cincinnati Reds. The narrative culminates in a dramatic game where Robinson, facing relief pitcher Ace Konstantly, executes a crucial bunt single and steals third base, ultimately scoring the winning run to keep the Dodgers' pennant hopes alive.
This single-page feature celebrates some of baseball's strangest moments and record-setting oddities from Brooklyn Dodgers history, spanning from the 1920s through the 1930s. You'll read about Dazzy Vance's superstitious winning streak, Clarence Mitchell's record-setting day of outs in the 1920 World Series, Babe Herman's pioneering night-game home run, and the Dodgers' grueling marathon of games played in just three days—a snapshot of the quirky, hard-nosed era of early professional baseball.
In the heat of a pennant race, Jackie Robinson and the Brooklyn Dodgers battle the Cincinnati Reds and St. Louis Cardinals through September 1949, with Robinson delivering crucial hits and baserunning in the stretch drive toward the championship. The story follows Robinson's clutch performances—including a triple that clears the bases in the tenth inning—and his tactical mastery on the basepaths as the Dodgers fight to overtake their rivals. Robinson's hitting prowess and all-around play prove instrumental as Brooklyn surges toward the season's finish.
