The California Winter League was the first 20th Century integrated baseball league including players from both Major League and Negro League teams. While the teams themselves were not integrated the league was and the 1945 season was no different. The winter season included two black teams (the Kansas City Royals and Birmingham Black Barons) one Latin team (the Saltillo Mexican All-Stars) and three white teams (Major League All-Stars San Diego All-Stars and the Coast League All-Stars). Though Jackie Robinson officially broke baseball's color barrier by signing to the Montreal Royals on October 23 1945 Robinson played in the integrated California Winter League as a member of the Kansas City Royals. The Royals leased Wrigley Field in Los Angeles for the season and the season opened on Sunday September 22 and embarked on a seven-week season that would see the Royals win the league championship. Media accounts of the league are rare and boxscores are virtually nonexistent. Coupled with the fact that Bob Feller (listed here as part of the Major-Minor club) seemed to have played exhibitions with a variety of teams during the fall of 1945. Nevertheless we cannot locate a boxscore or news account of this game where the lineups and scores match what is on the presented piece. However we do feel it is likely that the game occurred after October 25 of 1945 after Jackie Robinson had signed his contract and left the club. His name is crossed off the scorecard and replaced by another player as if Robinson did not play in the game. Statistical accounts of the 1945 league indicate that Robinson did hit .400 for the season and played a majority of his team's games departing near the end of the campaign. Truly a historically significant piece likely one of the last baseball-related pieces to list Jackie Robinson as part of a Negro League team likely used after Robinson had already broken the color barrier by signing with the Dodgers' farm club.
