Despite experiencing some minor setbacks during his minor league career, George eventually made his debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers on April 15, 1948, against the Boston Braves. He quickly proved his worth by becoming a reliable pinch-hitter and earning the nickname "Shotgun" for his powerful arm in the outfield. However, it was during the 1951 season when George solidified his place in baseball history. In game one of the World Series against the New York Yankees, George hit a home run, making him the first player to embrace Jackie Robinson after he crossed home plate. This gesture became a symbol of unity and acceptance as the Dodgers went on to win the World Series that year.In total, we tracked 167 items since 01/01/2008.
