During Jackie Robinson's ten seasons in Brooklyn from 1947-1956, the Dodgers finished first six times, second three times and third once, hitting a high point in 1955 with Brooklyn's only World Series championship. From the middle of this glorious period, comes this 1951 Brooklyn Dodgers team-signed album page. This sturdy 4-1/4 x 5-3/4" page has two holes at top, that are well clear of the (9) signatures, which show average ("8-9") strength. The signers as they appear from top to bottom are: Don Thompson (d.2009), Dan Bankhead (d.1976), Jim Russell (d.1987), Jackie Robinson (HOF, d.1972), Roy Campanella (HOF, d.1993), Eddie Miksis (d.2005), Jake Pitler (coach, d.1968), Billy Cox (d.1978) and Chris Van Cuyk (d.1992). Auction LOA from JSA.
The opposite side of the page is signed by (6) who played with the Boston Red Sox c.1950-1952, with: Walter Masterson, Jim McDonald, Tom Wright, Ted Lecio, Birdie Tebbetts and Al Zarilla.
