About six months ago I bought a program from Jackie Robinson's 1946 all-star tour. I thought it was a neat piece in part because it featured Jackie on an integrated all-star team playing in Major League Stadiums before his rookie year with the Dodgers. I submitted the program to the PBS show history detectives and they decided to feature it in a story. In May they flew me out to Cooperstown to Film the scenes and the story will air next Monday. This may have been the most interesting, exciting and strange occurrence in my collecting career. I haven;t seen the story yet but its sounds like there should be some interesting interviews and footage. The link below is to a Pittsburgh (where the game was player) newspaper article about the story. i hope you can all watch next week.

Thanks for the post. That's really cool. History Detectives is my favorite show and I noticed Robinson was going to be on the next episode.

History Detectives is a great show. Congrats! Wes Cowan is one of the "detectives" and he also has an auction house that occasionally has some baseball memorabilia.
