4Display Friday - Early Jackie Robinson Day Celebration

​Assuming there isn't some sort of last-minute cave by MLB to the Trump administration's raging against anything that contains a whiff of celebrating diversity, in addition to it being tax day this coming Tuesday is Jackie Robinson Day.

In early honor of Jackie Robinson breaking baseball's color barrier, I thought I'd share some of the other legendary players from the 1949 Bowman set in my collection including one of the first African-American all-stars (Campanella), the player who broke the American League color barrier (Doby), and one of the first African-Americans to win a World Series (Paige, along with Doby).
