The First is a musical with a book by critic Joel Siegel.
 The music was composed by Robert Brush, and Martin Charnin wrote the lyrics.
 The show is based on the life of Brooklyn Dodgers second baseman Jackie Robinson, the first African-American to play major league baseball in the 20th century.
Born in Orleans, Indiana, Richardson threw and batted right-handed.
 A second baseman, third baseman and outfielder, he stood 5 ft tall and weighed 187 lb .

 In 1948, Sampson discovered future Baseball Hall of Famer Willie Mays, which led to Mays signing with the Black Barons.

 The team played its home games at Ebbets Field of the baseball National League's team, the Brooklyn Dodgers.

 This old NFL franchise was not related to the earlier (second incarnation) American Football League II with a franchise that played as the Brooklyn Tigers for the first half of the 1936 season before moving to Rochester, New York and playing as the Rochester Tigers.
 Another NFL team that played in the Brooklyn borough was the Brooklyn Lions (which became the Brooklyn Horsemen after merging with a team from an earlier first incarnation AFL of the same name) in 1926.
 Later co-owner and partner Dan Topping (1912–1974), pulled the Tigers team out of the old NFL in 1946 and placed it in the newly established rival professional league – the All-America Football Conference, which shortly lasted until 1949 until several stronger teams from the AAFC merged with and entered a reorganized NFL in 1950.
 It lasted until 1970 with the NFL-AFL (third) merger following the establishment of the first "Super Bowl" inter-league national championship game three years before with the old NFL champions playing the victors of the latest rival fourth incarnation of the American Football League IV, formed in 1960 (now the American Football Conference (AFC).
