1946: A year before he made his major league debut, Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in the minors, playing for the Montreal Royals, the Brooklyn Dodger minor league affiliate. Jackie's first game is one to remember at Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City as he collects four hits, with a home run in five at bats as Jackie Robinson's Royals defeat the Jersey City Giants 14-1.
