At the start of the summer of 1947, television was brand new, the sound barrier had not been broken, and baseball was a white man’s game. By fall, President Truman addressed the nation for the first time on TV, Chuck Yeager flew faster than any man ever had, and Jackie Robinson became the first African-American to play major league baseball.
