Heinz History Center September 1, 1971 Line-Up T-Shirt Medium

On September 1, 1971, the Pittsburgh Pirates became the first team in Major League Baseball history to field an all-minority line-up. While the significance of the moment went largely overlooked at game time (commentators didn't notice history being made until the third inning), the historic occasion came nearly 24 years after Jackie Robinson first broke baseball’s color barrier. This t-shirt design commemorates the pivotal moment in baseball history.

While Jackie Robinson's breakthrough in 1947 opened the gates of opportunity for African Americans and other minority players, it was not until 1971 when a team first enjoyed a full and complete level of integration, with half of its twenty-five-man roster comprised of players of African American and Latino descent. That team was the Pittsburgh Pirates, managed by an old-time Irishman.
