First Edition
Ochre Boards. Condition: Good. Photographs Throughout (illustrator). First Edition. Interesting for the contemporary citation of only Jackie Robinson amongst the opposing Pasadena teams: Football: " Sparked by the dusky Jackie Robinson, the Pasadena Bulldogs waxed the local boys 33-6 before a crowd of 32,000 spectators in the Rose Bowl. Glendale scored after a pass interference penalty was ruled against Pasadena." Basketball: " Both tilts were lost when Glendale played Jackie Robinson's Pasadena Bulldogs, the first, 45-37, and the second, 43-34." Robinson was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in October 2003, the second major leagyue baseball player to earn the medal, after Roberto Clemente in 1973. Unusual small-format annual. All photographs in sepia. Spine worn and cloth split along one entire edge.
