In 1956, at the age of 20, Robinson broke into the Redlegs' lineup, promptly hit 38 home...
...playground. Quickly the cart pullers-parishioners of nearby St. Philip's Church-set up three canvas walls (painted to resemble an East End living room) on the rough-planked cart, tapped a nearby flat for electricity to operate the homemade floodlights. Then the bell swinger-Father Oswald, Anglican priest in charge of St. Philip's and a member of Britain's Society of St. Francis-blessed his troupe of parishioners, who made the sign of the cross and climbed onto the cart to revive a medieval custom, the morality play...
