Jackie Robinson's steal of home in the 1955 World Series is one of his defining moments on the diamond. Doug Glanville explains how Jackie pulled off the improbable steal and how Robinson's pioneering pursuit of civil rights inspired him decades later.

Okay. There is a different view of the play. And that shows that Robinson was indeed safe. Good job showing that angle.
His brother is a silver medalist at the Olympics 🤯🥈 talent runs in the fam.

The umpire got it right. Yogi always disagreed and I am sure he believed in his heart that Robinson was out. This is an iconic moment in baseball. The umpire was in the exact right place to make the call. Jackie Robinson will always be one of my heroes.

I disagree. Love Jackie, but he was clearly OUT on this play. Problem here is Jackie surprised the ump, too, who was out of position ~ couldn't see the play for his location behind Berra.

At 0:02, 2:24 2:34, 3:00 it’s hard to tell if he was safe or out. At 0:11, he appears out. At 3:13 appears Safe. But that still photograph at 6:02, appears he was definitely out. & it’s different than the still photo at 0:30. I have never seen that newspaper full page at 3:38 before. Did they make/ask Yogi to pose it that position? (That he’s analyzing the full page newspaper, in the wide open area, with no one else around him)
My dad was 13 year old and he got a autographs from Mr. JACKIE ROBINSON. REST IN HEAVEN ROBINSON
Appreciate this black history & baseball history lesson ESPN. Would love to see more of this!
Mrs.Robinson is still very Beautiful, Happy 100th Birthday DEAR LADY,JUST LOVELY💐🌹🌻🌺💮🏵️🌼💖
The view from the camera from his backside shows he actually was safe. This view is never shown, only the view from the front, which makes him look out. The backside view should be shown a lot more often.

Brooklyn only won the 1955 World Series because Mickey Mantle was injured for Game 7, and didn't play; he only came off the bench in the late innings, and popping up to Pee Wee Reese at short.
I was born too late to see Robinson play. But!!! I am a huge fan, and I cannot get enough of this amazing man.

The angle at 6:02 is an optical illusion because the angle behind the play, whereas at 3:13 the angle takes us into his pathway to the plate.
Did the batter know (in advance) that Jackie was stealing home? 2:24 if not, Isn’t that kind of dangerous? because it looks the batter could swing, and hit Yogi with his bat.
Y’all filmed the Glanville bits on actual eyes? Joint super clear
Greatest athlete of all time imo
Holy Cow!, Dolly Parton‘s mom, was at this game! 0:38
Originals by Adam Grant brought me here 😊
I got my frist A in school on a report card in severe the grade doing an oral book report on Jackie Robinson
Thanks for hiding this from us espn,,,
Safe!!!!!!!!
The Dodgers lost that 1955 World Series game when Robinson stole home. And he was benched in game 7 because he wasn't hitting. The Yankees beat the Dodgers the next year with Brooklyn shutout in the first 9 innings of the last 3 games, including Don Larsen's perfect game 5. Robinson drove in Brooklyn's only run with a 10th inning single in game 6. In game 7 Robinson was 0 for 3 with a walk. He never played again.

According to an article by Robert Rubino in the Press Democrat, Santa Rosa, CA in 2015, Jackie Robinson was 36 years of age and had an injury-plagued season in 1955. Obviously, with his style of playing, he needed his wheels to be in good order. In 1947 when he was called up, he was 28 years old, so he was never bound to have a 10-year career, even if he was close. Here's a couple of quotes why he didn't play in the victorious world-series game seven in that year: Rachel Robinson, Jackie’s widow, when asked about her husband sitting out Game 7 in ’55, was quoted, “I don’t know why Jack didn’t play. I really don’t know. That was 50 years ago, buddy.” Don Newcombe, the Dodgers ace and a 20-game winner in ’55, whom Alston curiously chose not to use after a Game 1 loss, said Robinson sat out Game 7 because “he had a sore Achilles.” Carl Erskine, the Dodgers Game 4 starter, said, “It was his knees. Jackie had chronic bad knees from his college football playing days.”

I love Jackie Robinson, but he was clearly OUT on this attempt to steal home in the '55 WS. Ump was out of position, and could not see the tag.

@@kenneth7826 I have 16 signed baseballs from that era. One had Jackie's signature. It was our family's pride and joy. We brought it to Antiques roadshow(NPR) and it wasn't Jackie's signature.
