Jackie Robinson on the Cover of Sports Stars Magazine, November 1951
Description
A slide of the cover of the November 1951 edition of Sports Stars magazine featuring Jackie Robinson in a Dodgers uniform. Robinson is wearing a glove and is crouched in fielding position, gripping a ball in his right hand as if he had just fielded it, and he is looking to his left, with his head slightly turned. To Robinson's right is the caption of an article in the magazine: "Exclusive Off-the-Record Report: Big Leaguers talk about Jackie Robinson" In the bottom left corner of the cover is an insert photograph of University of Oklahoma football player Billy Vessels.
