Description
In 1946 Jackie Robinson played one season in Canada for the AAA Dodgers farm team, The Montreal Royals. He helped to lead the team to 100 wins and the "Little" World Series Championship. This was the best season in Montreal Royals history. The next year he debuted in Dodger Blue, breaking the color barrier and becoming the first African American to play in Major League Baseball. The rest is history. This baseball has been authenticated through PSA/DNA cert #J86110. It is in good condition. I have tryed to find another signed baseball from this same team, but was only able to find one. The one I found has been donated to the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame. I have not seen any pictures of it. The other signatures on the ball are as follows.
Ben Cardoni
Chet Ross
Lew Riggs
Al Capanis
Herman Franks
Earl Naylor
Tommy Tatum
Curt Davis
Jean-Pierre Roy
Cy Buker
John Gabbard
