Jack­ie Robin­son Steals Home, orig­i­nal­ly uploaded by stechico.

One of the pri­ma­ry rea­sons why I’ve grown to love the Dodgers.

Base­ball World Series

Sub­way Series: Brook­lyn Dodger Jack­ie Robin­son charg­ing wildy fr. 3rd base as unwary NY Yan­kee catch­er Yogi Berra squats behind Dodger bat­ter dur­ing Jack­ie’s steal of home plate in the 8th inning of the 1st game of the World Series at Yan­kee Sta­di­um.

Loca­tion: New York, NY, US
Date tak­en: Sep­tem­ber 28, 1955
Pho­tog­ra­ph­er: Ralph Morse

This pho­to is from the LIFE pho­to archive host­ed Google here. It’s very nice of them to do this as more peo­ple can reflect back to the great images that Life has tak­en over the years.
