📜 This Day in History – September 24, 1957
The Brooklyn Dodgers played their final game at Ebbets Field.
Before they left, a man changed history on that diamond.
🎩 Ode to Jackie Robinson:
Jackie—number 42—
you bore the weight no one else knew.
You cracked the myth, exposed the lie.
You turned a diamond to sacred sky.

Still wanna see one of these long-sleeve Ebbets Field shirts in the wild and not just on this CD case.
np Return to Forever Ebbets Field Denver 8/9/74
#EbbetsField was a small club in Denver that held around 250 ppl. It ran from 1973-77 and had some huge entertainers grace its cozy stage over the yrs.
That band is listed as Chick Corea in the ad which makes sense when you listen to the show & hear the MC say that when RTF came in 1973 there was only half as many ppl in attendance!
