Jackie Robinson: An American Hero By Maury Allen LOS ANGELES DODGERS Jackie Robinson takes off from third and steals home in one of the most dazzling feats of World Series history! Game One, The 1955 World Series, 8th inning, the Brooklyn Dodgers trailing the Yankees 6 to 4! [The Dodgers won the Series!] Jackie Robinson reporting to the Brooklyn Dodgers from the minor league Montreal Royals, 1947. FEATURED VIDEO: JACKIE ON THE BASES By Maury Allen The game of baseball is about runs, hits and errors, 70 homers by Mark McGwire and seven no hitters by Nolan Ryan, a .367 lifetime mark by Ty Cobb and 511 wins by Cy Young. It is about more than 15,000 people who have made it to the big leagues from Hank Aaron in alphabetical order to Dutch Zwilling over the last 130 years of organized record keeping. It is about people who get an instant moment of fame, not even Andy Warhol's 15 minutes, such as Moonlight Graham, a one gamer for the 1905 New York Giants until W.A. Kinsella made him famous in Field of Dreams , and Walter Alston with an at bat for the Cardinals in 1936. Only a Brooklyn Dodger World Series win in 1955 and a brilliant Hall of Fame managerial career saved him from lifelong obscurity.

View Poster Born: 31 January 1919 Birthplace: Cairo, Georgia Died: 24 October 1972 (diabetes) Best Known As: The man who broke baseball's color barrier Jackie Robinson was the first African-American to play in baseball's major leagues in the modern era. Only white players were accepted in the major leagues until 1947, when Robinson was called up to play for the Brooklyn Dodgers. He made his first major league appearance on 15 April 1947. Robinson was named Rookie of the Year for 1947 and went on to appear in six World Series in ten seasons with the Dodgers (1947-56). Other major league teams soon followed Brooklyn's lead and hired black players of their own. Robinson's stellar play, and his role in breaking the color barrier, led to his 1962 induction as the first African-American in baseball's Hall of Fame. In 1997, on the 50th anniversary of Robinson's first year with the Dodgers, Major League Baseball permanently retired Robinson's uniform number, 42. He is the only baseball player ever to have been so honored. He was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Ronald Reagan in 1984.
