Why was Jackie Robinson named Jackie?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Because hes black.

Note that the person that said the previous statement is too stupid to know how to spell the simple contraction "he's." This moron is also unaware that Jackie Robinson has been dead for quite a while, meaning it is incorrect to say that "He's black" -- the only intelligent statement would be "He WAS black."

Oh, and BTW, Robinson got the nickname because he was quite adept at stealing bases -- he's one of the few players to ever steal home in a World Series game.

Asked by Wiki User

You may be referring to the so-called "color line." For many decades, professional baseball in America was segregated; even the best black players were not allowed to play for major league teams. Some played in the Negro Leagues, but these teams, while entertaining, did not have the budget to pay players well, nor did these teams receive as much attention or respect from the mainstream media. But everything changed in 1945, when Branch Rickey, president and general manager of the then-Brooklyn Dodgers (today the team is in Los Angeles) courageously signed star Negro League player Jackie Robinson. Robinson was equally courageous: becoming the first black player in major league baseball in 1947, he endured bigotry and racism, yet went on to have a very successful career.
