Montreal Royals 1946 Road Jersey

INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE

HISTORY

On April 18, 1946, Jackie Robinson - wearing this shirt - stepped onto the field in Jersey City, NJ, and became the first player in modern history to break organized baseball's unwritten "color line." Robinson (#9) merely went on to lead the International League in batting average and fielding percentage, and was promoted to Brooklyn the following season.
