1949 Jackie Robinson First All Star Game Ticket Stub PSA GD 2
Jackie Robinson's Major League debut in 1947 changed the history of America, and two seasons later, Hall of Famer Robinson played in his first Major League All-Star game, on Tuesday July 12, 1949, at Brooklyn's Ebbets Field as the Brooklyn Dodger started and played the whole game at second base. Presented is a ticket stub from that game, which was won by a score of 11-7 by the American League. Because of baseball's unwritten "Color Line," Robinson started his Major League career at 28-years old, and he was the '47 National League Rookie of the Year as he hit .297 and led the NL with 29 stolen bases and helped the Dodgers to the pennant. In 1949, Robinson was 30 years old and at his peak. He led the NL in batting average, hitting .342, topped the league with 37 stolen bases and was the NL MVP as he led the Dodgers to another pennant. In the '49 All-Star game, Robinson had a fine game. He was 1-4 with a double and a walk, scored three runs and started a double play as Virgil Trucks took the win with Robinson's teammate, Don Newcombe, taking the loss. The ticket stub measures 2.25x3.6" and it has been encapsulated and graded by PSA.
