Opening Day At Ebbets Field 1947

[Spirit of '55]

Friends:

My Dad arrived in the United States on January 1, 1947, and attended his first ballgame on opening day at Ebbets Field that year. Does anybody know the exact date? Who was in the lineup? Any pictures?

Thanks for any help you can give! :homeplate:
