He got into a fight Leo Durocher, the new Giant manager, and broke his hand. Missed the postseason where the Dodgers again lost to the Yankees.
The Brawl. Jackie scoring last run of that game. And a stub.

And a '53 Topps. My favorite card.

Brett, Im loving your Jackie collection. That is a beautiful 53. Has anyone else noticed the blue mark in the sky next to Jackies hat on the 53? When I first got mine in hand I thought it was a pen mark. I wonder if it was a stray mark from the painters brush on the original or a printing mark on the card. Has anyone seen a picture of the original painting? I know it was auctioned off with a bunch of the other 53 paintings in the 80s, but Ive never seen a picture of the actual painting.
