May 18,1947: Professional baseball in Chicago was desegregated when Jackie Robinson and the Brooklyn Dodgers came to town. A record crowd of 47,101 crammed into Wrigley Field, and 20,000 more stood outside wishing they could get in. By some estimates, half of those in the stands that afternoon were African-American - a remarkable sight at a ballpark on the overwhelmingly white North Side. There were fears that the unaccustomed meeting of the races would trigger clashes. Afterward, the Chicago Defender, the citys black newspaper, breathed an editorial sigh of relief: “Robinson Makes Chicago Debut; Fans Are Orderly.” The Cubs lost 4-2. Want to see the No. 1 moment?
