Jackie Robinson knocks Phil Rizzuto into the air
Wikipedia - "The 1947 World Series matched the New York Yankees against the Brooklyn Dodgers, with the Yankees winning the Series in seven games for their first title since 1943, and the eleventh championship in team history. Yankees manager Bucky Harris won the Series for the first time since managing the Washington Senators to their only title in 1924. This was the first World Series involving an African-American player, as Jackie Robinson had racially integrated Major League Baseball at the beginning of the 1947 season."
