## Caption

Jackie Robinson’s first Spring Training in 1946 was captured on film by Robert Bates, who was taking video of his two sons as batboys. 

Jackie can be seen here wearing No. 9, which he wore until donning his now-famous No. 42 the following year. 

That same field is in use today by the Daytona Tortugas, the Single-A affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds, and is now known as Jackie Robinson Ballpark.
