Whether you like baseball or not, he paved the way for LeBron or Gale Sayers to be in their leagues.

I can't wait for "42" in April

Jackie Robinson JHS alum...born and raised in Ebbets Field Apartments in Crown Heights Brooklyn where he made history and none of the students were taught anything about him.

Although its Jackie's Day and he is deserving of his respect men such as Larry Doby dont get the accolades they deserve.

jackie endured unimaginable verbal abuse and blatant racism i probably cannot begin to grasp yet went about his business with class and there are no known quotes from him really losing his cool or saying dumb stuff

i say that because the stars of today can take a page out of his book. the issues stars face today are like 1/1000000 of what robinson endured and yet they whine and complain and lose their cool.....they don't make em' like they used to
