Original 7" x 9" news service photo picturing Dodgers great, Jackie Robinson in action. According to full paper caption still affixed to verso, Jackie is sliding back to first base during a game against the Giants at Ebbets Field on Sept. 10, 1949. Research reveals Jackie had singled in the 8th inning but was ultimately caught stealing by Giants catcher Ray Mueller. Robinson went 2-4 on the day, also bunting for single in the 6th inning. Photo exhibits typical handling wear inherent to most news service photos but remains vivid and bright overall. Both UPI and Acme credit stampings have been applied to verso. Obvious wear from handling/storage present around perimeter of this photo with creasing visible in the top-right corner. Note there is some soft focus to the image, likely due to being shot from afar while the players were in motion, then enlarged in the darkroom. Full LOA from PSA/DNA.
