Description
A color slide of the cover of the February 1953 edition of Inside Baseball magazine featuring a portrait of Jackie Robinson from 1951 in a Brooklyn Dodgers uniform and cap from the waist up, holding a bat on his right shoulder. In the background is a smaller photo of Robinson in uniform beginning a slide, and superimposed on Robinson's right shoulder in the featured photograph is a small image of a catcher with his jersey 25 visible on his back.
