On April 15, 1947, the Brooklyn Dodgers faced off against the Boston Braves in an Opening Day contest at Ebbets Field, winning by a score of 5-3. The crowd of 26,653 witnessed one of the most historically significant events in MLB history, as Jackie Robinson started at first base.
With his wife, Rachel, and son, Jackie Robinson Jr., in attendance, Robinson made his MLB debut and broke the color barrier.
