Jackie Robinson will be remembered for breaking the color line in major league baseball, but one fan will never forget his season with the Montreal Royals. This article will discuss Robinson's first season in Montreal and the financing for Delorimier Stadium by Trudeau, Stallings. Robinson's book "My Life as a Baseball Player" will be covered.
Montreal's first baseball love affair with the Royals
Montreal hosted a model baseball team called the Expos in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The Expos regularly attracted 2 million fans each season, surpassing teams like the Yankees, Red Sox and Cardinals. The Tampa Bay Rays didn't have the same fanbase and had to end their relationship with Montreal because of a labour dispute.
Robinson's year at Montreal
Jackie Robinson's debut season at the Royals in 1947 brought an end to tacit racism in major league baseball. Robinson's performance in the city was so significant that it dispelled the dire predictions of Montreal Royals fans. Robinson was able to break down racial barriers and become an international star. Robinson was inducted in the National Baseball Hall of Fame, Cooperstown, N.Y. in 1962. Branch Rickey selected Robinson as his star to try to end racial discrimination in baseball, and he gambled that Montreal would be the right venue to carry out his experiment.
Stallings and Trudeau financed the Delorimier Stallings Stadium
The site of the former Atwater Park was the new Montreal Alouettes home. It was completed in only a few weeks and became home to the Montreal Alouettes from 1946 to 1953. Charles E. Trudeau provided financing for the stadium, which was also the father of Pierre Elliott Trudeau. The project was controversial.
Robinson's book
Kostya Kelly's "The 4 Seasons of Jackie Robinson" is a charming and poetic look into Jackie Robinson's life including his time at the Montreal Royals. Kennedy was a Brooklyn child who was keenly aware of baseball. Robinson's writings contain a lot of historical detail. Dugas however, attempts to convey the essence his life and the feelings he felt as a native son.
O'Malley's influence over the team
If Jackie Robinson's 1946 season with the Montreal Royals was a highlight of his career, then O'Malley's influence on this team was even greater. O'Malley was a combative person, but he had much to offer. O'Malley saw the potential for baseball's Westward expansion. He set the standard in running a club baseball, and his great leadership over three decades of playing is a testimony to that.
