On this date in 1947, Jackie Robinson broke baseball’s color barrier when he debuted with the Brooklyn Dodgers. Over 10 seasons in the majors, Robinson helped lead Brooklyn to six World Series — all of them against the Yankees. After Series losses in 1947, ’49, ’52 and ’53, Brooklyn’s oft-heard refrain of “Wait till next year” was answered in 1955 when Robinson’s steal of home in Game 1 set the tone for a hard-fought seven-game Fall Classic. Robinson and Yogi Berra, two of the game’s fiercest competitors, met one last time in the 1956 World Series. Game 7 at Ebbets Field ended with Robinson swinging at a third strike that got away from Berra, who threw to first baseman Moose Skowron for the final out — Robinson’s final appearance in a major league uniform (photo courtesy New York Daily News). A pioneer and national hero, Robinson passed away in 1972 at age 53. On April 15, 1997, Major League Baseball retired his No. 42 throughout the game.
