Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Fall 2012
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 10/30/2012
Personal cheque dated "Oct. 2, 1956" is paid to the order of the "Brooklyn Baseball Club" and stamped on the back by the Dodgers ticket office. This was obviously payment for tickets for the Fall Classic, which would be Robinson's last. Notified that he was to be traded to the hated New York Giants, Jackie chose instead to hang up his spikes. He would, however, hit his final World Series home run the next day at Ebbets Field, but ultimately fall to the Yanks in seven games. Cheque is made out entirely in Robinson's NRMT hand. Cheque itself has one vertical crease, otherwise EX+/NRMT. An amazing Robinson signed cheque. With LOA.
