Jackie Robinson was still an active Brooklyn Dodger in 1952 when he hung up this shingle as the director of community activities for New York's WNBC and WNBT (TV). Obtained from his wife, Rachel Robinson, this 6 x 14" wood nameplate with white-painted letters (EX) makes a grand addition to any collection chronicling the life of Robinson, the major leagues' first black player.
