Jackie Robinson's breaking of the color line in Major League Baseball will be remembered, but one Montreal Royals fan will always remember his time with them. This article will discuss Robinson's first season in Montreal and the financing for Delorimier Stadium by Trudeau, Stallings. Robinson's memoir, "My Life As a Baseball Player," is also covered.
Montreal's first relationship with the Royals:
Montreal was home to the Expos, a very successful baseball franchise in the late 70s/early 80s. They regularly drew over 2,000,000 fans per season, topping teams such as the Yankees or Red Sox. The Tampa Bay Rays weren't able to achieve that level of fandom. They lost their relationship with Montreal after a labour strike ended the season.
Robinson's first year in Montreal
Jackie Robinson's 1947 debut season with the Royals brought an end of tacit racial disparity 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. In 1962, Robinson was inducted into Cooperstown's National Baseball Hall of Fame. Branch Rickey chose Robinson for his star to fight racial disparity in baseball. He believed Montreal would be a good place to test his hypothesis.
Stallings and Trudeau's financing of Delorimier Stadium
The Montreal Alouettes new home was built at the site of the Atwater Park. The stadium was built in just a few months and held 20,000 spectators. It became the Montreal Alouettes home from 1946 through 1953. Charles E. Trudeau (father of Pierre Elliott Trudeau), provided the stadium's funding. This project was not without controversy.
Robinson's Book
Kostya Kennedy's The 4 Seasons of Jackie Robinson is a lovely and lyrical look at Jackie Robinson's life, including his time with the Montreal Royals. Kennedy was a Brooklyn child who was keenly aware of baseball. While Robinson's writing is rich with historical detail, Dugas tries to convey the essence of his life, and the feelings of a native son.
O'Malley's influence on the team
O'Malley's influence over this team was greater than Jackie Robinson's 1946 season playing for the Montreal Royals. Despite his combative personality, O'Malley had a lot to offer. O'Malley understood the enormous potential of Westward expansion in baseball. His leadership of the club over three decades is an example of his outstanding work.
