yes jackie robinson had a pet. it was a dog named fluffy. fluffy was brown and black.
He swung a 36-inch, 40-ounce Louisville Slugger with a thick, untapered hitting end and a much thicker than average handle - - - a modern-day variant of the Heinie Groh "bottle bat." If you pick one up it feels like a telephone pole, but remember: Robinson was incredibly strong and had huge hands.
There are a few factors in determining the value of your baseball. The type of baseball it is signed on, authentication, and the condition of the signatures as well as the ball itself. The most desirable baseball for these signatures would be a Warren Giles Official National league baseball. If the signatures are professionally authenticated it would also add value to the ball. In general a 1957 Brooklyn Dodger team signed baseball with the key signatures: Hodges, Gillian, Reese, Furillo, Snider, Campanella, Koufax, and Drysdale is worth about $1,000. -- $1,300. A 1955 Brooklyn Dodger team signed baseball would be the trophy ball the year they beat the Yankees in the World Series.$2,500. -- $4,000
Yes, many times.
Aaron's and Robinson's MLB careers overlapped by three seasons (1954-1956). Their first game against each other was May 11, 1954 and their final game against each other was September 12, 1956.

No, Jackie Robinson was never a slave. No - he was raised in poverty but was never a slave.
Jackie Robinson's were sports.just all sports!
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.
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.
