Framed Jackie Robinson Art
Jackie Robinson was an outstanding baseball players and the fact that he was the first African-American to play in the Major League Baseball says a great deal about his perseverance.
Back in the day, before the framed Jackie Robinson posters at FramedArt.com became popular, African-American players were forced to play in special divisions due to racial segregation.
Jackie was perseverant and managed to rally the entire team behind him, while his immense talent eventually led to the ending of segregation.
Many of the framed Jackie Robinson posters refer to the cultural impact made by this baseball player, with some moments being impressive on many levels. The Jackie Robinson stealing base image taken in 1952 is one of the most powerful in the sports history and a must have for any collector. He played a critical role in the Dodgers World Series championship three years later and he was rightfully nominated for six straight All-Star games starting in 1949.
From the very beginning, he showed immense promise and was nominated the rookie of the year in 1947, while setting numerous records over the next two decades. There are several framed Jackie Robinson posters centered on his uniform number 42, which was universally retired by MLB. It is common practice for franchises to retire the numbers of players that make history, but it rarely happens for the league to retire a uniform across all MLB teams. Robinson was also inducted into the baseball Hall of Fame back in 1962 and every year on April 15 major league baseball celebrates Jackie Robinson Day.
