Dodgers Star Power Opens Season With Robinsn Big Homer
Major league baseball opened with Jackie Robinson and Roy Campanella shining for the Brooklyn Dodgers. Robinson hit a Herculean homer and two other hits while solid at short.

The Dodgers, under new manager Reese, project a pennant bid as Robinson aims for a steal title and Campanella provides steady defense and power.
