Rare Official National League baseball signed by 25 members of the 1950 Brooklyn Dodgers. Signed by Jackie Robinson, Roy Campanella, Gil Hodges, Andy Pafko, Carol Erskine, Ralph Branca, and George Pfister. The signatures of Chuck Dressen, Pee Wee Reese, Dick Williams, Duke Snider, Billy Loes, and Preacher Roe have been deemed clubhouse versions. In fine condition. Housed in a custom acrylic display case. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from PSA. From the collection of Steve Forbes. The 1952 Brooklyn Dodgers combined athletic dominance with cultural significance, and Jackie Robinson remained central to both dimensions of the teamâs identity. That season, Brooklyn captured the National League pennant, finishing four games ahead of the New York Giants, and showcased the leagueâs most formidable offense, leading the majors in home runs behind sluggers Gil Hodges (32), Roy Campanella (22), and Duke Snider (21). Within this high-powered lineup, Robinson continued to embody the clubâs dynamism, contributing speed, on-base skill, and competitive intensity, while also forming productive ties with newer teammates such as Andy Pafko, with whom he shared close on-field synergy, each scoring 19 runs. Although the Dodgers ultimately fell to the Yankees in a seven-game World Series, the 1952 campaign stands as a vivid example of Robinsonâs ongoing role in sustaining Brooklynâs excellence during the peak âBoys of Summerâ era.
