Jackie Robinson played 10 full seasons for the Brooklyn Dodgers, from 1947 to 1956. He won a batting title (1949), and was named the National League's Rookie of the Year (1947) and Most Valuable Player (1949). He appeared in six World Series, all of them against the New York Yankees (1947, 1949, 1952, 1953, 1955 and 1956). The Dodgers won their only world championship in Brooklyn in 1955. After his retirement, Robinson was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962, his first year of eligibility.

Robinson was born on January 31, 1919, into a family of sharecroppers in Cairo, Georgia, during a Spanish flu and smallpox epidemic. He was the youngest of five children, after siblings Edgar, Frank, Matthew (nicknamed "Mack"), and Willa Mae. His middle name was in honor of former President Theodore Roosevelt, who died twenty-five days before Robinson was born. After Robinson's father left the family in 1920, they moved to Pasadena, California. The extended Robinson family established itself on a residential plot containing two small houses at 121 Pepper Street in Pasadena. Robinson's mother worked various odd jobs to support the family. Growing up in relative poverty in an otherwise affluent community, Robinson and his minority friends were excluded from many recreational opportunities. As a result, Robinson joined a neighborhood gang, but his friend Carl Anderson persuaded him to abandon it.

Baseball is an American treasure. When Jackie Robinson began playing for Brooklyn, he broke barriers and dealt with a lot discrimination. He handled it with courage and inspired others and helped to change the opinion of others. This all helped the Civil Rights Movement.

His full name was Jack Roosevelt "Jackie" Robinson.

Because, black or white, Jackie Robinson was one of the best second basemen in the history of the game. I am sure Mr. Rickey signed Robinson because he was talented, not because of the color of his skin.
