Jackie Robinson burst onto the scene in 1947, breaking baseball's color barrier and bringing the ***** leagues' electrifying style of play to the majors. He quickly became baseball's top drawing card and a symbol of hope to millions of Americans. With Robinson as the catalyst, the Dodgers won six pennants in his 10 seasons. He dominated games on the base paths, stealing home 19 times while riling opposing pitchers with his daring baserunning style. Robinson was named National League MVP in 1949, leading the loop in hitting (.342) and steals (37), while knocking in 124 runs.
Quote
"He could hit and bunt and steal and run. He had intimidating skills, and he burned with a dark fire."
— author Roger Kahn
