From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On April 15, Jackie Robinson was the opening day first baseman for
the Brooklyn Dodgers, becoming the
first black player in Major League Baseball. Robinson
went on to bat .297, score 125 runs, steal 29 bases and be named
the very first Rookie of
the Year. The Dodgers won the National League title and went on to
lose to the New York Yankees in the World Series.
Offseason
Regular
season
The Dodgers had a home attendance of 1.8 million paying fans, a
National League record at the time.[6] On
road, the Dodgers drew 1.9 million paying fans, a National League
record at that time.
- April 22: In a game against the Philadelphia Phillies, Jackie
Robinson committed an error for the first time in his Major League
career. [7]
- May 13: Jackie Robinson played in his first game in Cincinnati.
The Reds won the game 7-5. Despite the loss, Robinson had a walk, a
single, and a run. [8] Various
racial slurs were hurled at Robinson by the fans. Pee Wee Reese put
his hand on Robinson's shoulder to hush the crowd. [9]
- May 18: 46,572 paying fans (while there were 20,000 fans
outside) came to Wrigley Field to see Jackie Robinson play. The
Dodgers won by a score of 4-2.[10]
- June 24: Against the Pirates, Jackie Robinson stole home plate
for the first time in his career.[11] The
Pirates catcher was Dixie Howell.
- September 11: Cardinals catcher Joe Garagiola and
Jackie Robinson were involved in an incident at home plate.
Garagiola stepped on Robinson’s foot and the two started arguing.
Umpire Bean Reardon held back Garagiola while Robinson clapped.
[12] The
incident was later part of a children’s book titled Year of the
Boar and Jackie.
