1958 Topps Philidelphia Phillies #134 ⭐ John Kennedy - Shortstop
John Kennedy is credited with breaking the color barrier for the Philadelphia Phillies on April 22, 1957.
He started his pro baseball career in the Negro League with the Birmingham Black Barons.
That makes John Kennedy both a MLB Barrier Breaker and a MLB Pioneer.
John was a shortstop and is pictured in the front row of this team card.
This is the only mainstream MLB playing days card that has an image of John Kennedy.
This is a cherished card in my collection of MLB Barrier Breakers.
