Dodgers to unveil Jackie Robinson statue Saturday


Jackie Robinson is immortalized by statues in Canada, Connecticut, Florida and New Jersey, and by two statues in New York. Sharon Robinson, Jackie’s daughter, said she expects about 200 friends and family members — including her 94-year-old mother, Rachel — to attend the unveiling and ceremony on baseball’s annual Jackie Robinson Day. So the Dodgers will install the larger-than-life Robinson statue near the reserve level entrances, along the left-field line. — Sculptor Branly CadetThe Brooklyn Dodgers' Jackie Robinson steals home as Boston Braves catcher Bill Salkeld is thrown of Associated Press The Brooklyn Dodgers' Jackie Robinson steals home as Boston Braves catcher Bill Salkeld is thrown off-balance on the pitch to the plate on Aug. 22, 1948.
