Large Jackie Robinson 50th Anniversary Banner Hung At Shea Stadium
History was made at Shea Stadium on April 15, 1997 - the 50-year anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking baseball's color barrier with the Brooklyn Dodgers. With President Clinton and Jackie's widow, Rachel, on the field for a special, in-game ceremony, commissioner Bud Selig announced that baseball would be retiring Robinson's #42 (grandfathering in the handful of players who were wearing it at the time, like the Mets' Butch Huskey and the Yankees' Mariano Rivera) across the board. This double-sided banner was part of that special ceremony as it hung at the Mets' home ballpark and is in EX condition.
