Today's Iconic Moment in New York Sports History: Demolition of Brooklyn's historic Ebbets Field, where Jackie Robinson made his MLB debut, begins. #Sponsored #Cadillac | New York Post Sports

Close play at the plate, Ebbets Field, sometime in the 1950s. Jackie Robinson, bare-headed and fearless, explodes through a cloud of dust while Gil Hodges watches from the on-deck circle and Barney Stein’s camera catches it all. Robinson stole home 19 times in his career—still one of the highest totals in history—and every slide like this felt bigger than the scoreboard: one man challenging a game, a country, and the idea of what was possible between third and home. #baseballhistory #vintagebase

A dugout packed with Brooklyn greatness. 💙⚾ On August 14, 1955, between games of a doubleheader at Ebbets Field, the Dodgers honored their “All-Time Team.” Photographed by Barney Stein, this rare Type I original captures Dazzy Vance, Zack Wheat, Campanella, Hodges, Reese, Robinson, Snider — and more — all together in the same frame. Weeks later, the 1955 Dodgers would deliver Brooklyn its first and only World Series title. A moment of pride. A dynasty in transition. A borough frozen in time. #d
