Photographed on April 18th, 1950, at Shibe Park in Philadelphia, Jackie Robinson relays a double play ball received from his shortstop Pee-Wee Reese, completing the double play at first base with Gil Hodges receiving the throw. Taken in the 6th inning in early-season action featuring the Brooklyn Dodgers against the Philadelphia Phillies, this Type 1 photograph shows Jackie Robinson in a striking mid-throw position after retiring Eddie Waitkus at second base. Type 1, as described by PSA, indicates a 1st generation photograph, developed from the original negative, during the period (within approximately two years of when the picture was taken). This action shot of icon and baseball trailblazer Jackie Robinson represents an exciting opportunity to acquire a historically significant Type 1 photograph. All items are guaranteed authentic by Miller & Miller Auctions.
