Primary Source Summary

I am using a picture of Jackie Robinson for my primary source.  The picture is of Jackie holding the baseball bat.  Jackie’s body is pointed towards the camera like he is posing for a picture, but he is looking off to the side as if he was looking at something that is far away such as the fence.  The bat is laid on his shoulder instead of having it up and ready like he is ready to hit the ball.  This could portray that maybe he is lazy.  The frame is brown except for a little patch of green in the upper left hand corner that looks like grass.  The brown frame looks like it is supposed to resemble the outside of a baseball.  The picture is surrounded by a pattern of small laces except for the corners which have what looks like big knots tied in the laces.  In the upper left hand corner there is a little baseball with Jackie’s number on it.  The small baseball in the corner is white with red laces but the frame of the picture, which looks like it is supposed to resemble the outer layer of a baseball, is brown with light brown laces.  Jackie is in his dodger’s uniform with a dodger’s hat on.  The Jersey is white with blue lettering and Jackie has a blue long sleeve shirt on underneath his jersey.  At the bottom of the page is a title block that is red, white and blue.  In this block it says Jackie Robinson’s name and second base in regular bold font.  Off to the left, it has Dodger’s in cursive and fancy lettering.  The frame is sort of dull with a very colorful picture of Jackie Robinson inside of it.
