Wilbert Robinson Dugout photograph

Date1930 September 15

DescriptionA black-and-white photograph of Wilbert Robinson captured standing at the edge of the dugout watching his team, the Brooklyn Robins, play against the Cincinnati Reds on September 15, 1930. During this game the Brooklyn Robins won 13 to 5. Robinson has a pleased expression as looks on. He has one foot on the ledge of the dugout and has his hands folded on top of each other. Robinson is dressed in a suit. A newspaper clipping is affixed to the back of the photograph and states, "Maybe that distant look in Uncle Robbie's eyes, visualizes a world's championship baseball pennant flying over the Dodgers field in Brooklyn, New York. Wilbert Robinson, manager of the Dodgers is seen above, watching a game between his charges and Cincinnati Reds on Sept. 15, as the season wans, and Brooklyn is one game ahead of the cards."
