Who's Jackie Robinson?
Jackie Robinson had a profound impact on the field as well as off. In 1947 Robinson became the first black player in Major League Baseball, playing second base for the Brooklyn Dodgers. Robinson's major league career spanned a decade, during which time he played in 6 World Series, won a World Championship, and was a 6 time All-Star. Robinson's role in ending racial segregation in the game of baseball propelled him to civil rights icon status.
This multi-color design was inspired by vintage tobacco cards of the late 1800s and early 1900s. This design features Jackie in the foreground, getting ready to swing, in his Brooklyn Dodgers uniform set against a cyan and yellow background. The "card" has a very vintage and distressed look. An excellent baseball player and more importantly an excellent man; Jackie Robinson lived a life of great importance.
