“Jackie forever changed not only the game of baseball but society with his ground-breaking Major League career. His talents on the field were never in question. His quick bat, power and speed made him a superstar in the Negro Leagues before he was chosen by Dodgers boss Branch Rickey to break the Majors’ color line in 1947. The professional way in which he made history impressed fans every bit as much as his 1947 NL Rookie of the Year Award, 1949 NL MVP honor, 1949 batting title or two stolen base crowns. Robinson helped Brooklyn win the 1955 World Series and, seven years hence, he entered the Hall of Fame.“
