Rare Pin and Program for Jackie Robinson’s Brooklyn Dodgers Football Team.
Lot 165. Rare Pin and Program for Jackie Robinson’s Brooklyn Dodgers Football Team. With the baseball Hall of Fame player as general manager, the Dodgers competed for one season – 1966 – in the short-lived Continental League. Established in 1965 as a minor league with hopes of becoming a significant influence on pro football, the league folded at the end of the 1969. The Dodgers failed to attract a large following. Both the 3 ½” pin and the program, for the Orlando Panthers game, depict a “bum” similar to Willard Mullin’s. The pin is nm. The 16-page program, which is vg-ex, has photos of Robinson and head coach and football HoF member Andy Robustelli. Also included is a page promoting the Dodgers’ game vs. Richmond.
Winning Bid $113.
