Montreal Royals (1939-1960)

Montreal Royals' Logo on Jackie Robinson

One of the proudest distinctions Montreal has in history is that it was the first city in North
America to have an athlete of African descent in one of its major sport franchise teams.
Jackie Robinson played with Montreal Royals (the Brooklyn Dodgers Triple-A farm clubfom)
for one year in 1946. He was transferred the year after to the Major League Dodgers.
