Dodgers news: Jackie Robinson & George Shuba handshake statue

This Sunday is the 75th anniversary of Jackie Robinson’s first minor league game, playing for the Montreal Royals in the International League on April 18, 1946. Robinson had a magnificent debut in the Dodgers farm system, with four hits, two stolen bases, four runs scored, and four RBI at Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City, New Jersey against the Giants, Robinson homered in his second at-bat, and when he arrived at the plate, the next batter, outfielder George Shuba, greeted Robinson with a handshake at home plate. The moment was captured in a photo which was relatively unknown for years, except in the Shuba household. Shuba, who played parts of seven seasons for the Dodgers from 1948-1955, and was 4-for-12 in parts of three World Series for Brooklyn, didn’t advertise the photo much until about 2004, when his son Mike finally convinced him to share that picture, which he did in various speeches at schools and ballparks around the country.
