Jackie Robinson was a baseball player who broke the so-called “color barrier,” becoming the first African American player in Major League Baseball’s modern era.
He debuted with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947.
St. Louis’ Metro Theater Company presents a play about the life of Jackie Robinson called Jackie and Me.
The production follows Joey Stoshack, a boy who discovers a rare baseball card is his ticket to travel back in time to Branch Rickey’s office on the day Robinson becomes an MLB player.
