Atlanta Crackers Vs. Brooklyn Dodgers Score Card. Jackie Robinson
Atlanta Franklin Printing and Manufacturing Co. 1949 Hardcover Very Good
The scorecard has edge wear and some light soiling and scrapes on the front. There is an old horizontal crease through the middle where it was probably folded to put inside a jacket. Over the years the crease has mostly flattened out but is still noticeable. The card is not scored. The interior two pages are bright with no problems and there are no tears or weaknesses on the fold. ; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 4 pages; This scorecard comes from the April, 1949 exhibition series between the Atlanta Crackers and the Brooklyn Dodgers, played in Ponce De Leon Stadium in Atlanta. The importance of this series lies in the fact that Jackie Robinson played second base for the Dodgers in the fact that Jackie Robinson, the first African-American to play for a Major League team, played for the first time in Atlanta. Robinson played in all three games and Roy Campanella played in two. Both of these players are listed in print on the scorecard. Included with this scorecard is a copy of Atlanta History magazine which has a full account of the series and several pictures. This scorecard also features a big ad for Coca Cola on the front and still lists Ernie Harwell as the Crackers' announcer. This scorecard is an important memento of an historic event in the deep South. Worthy of an important sports collection.
