Jackie Robinson
Facts
Jackie Robinson is an important person because he broke the color barrier for baseball. He also never fought back even though many people would throw at him, spike him, and the fans wouldn't like him. He never lost his temper to prove that black people wouldn't cause problems.
Statistics
Jackie Robinson didn't just break the color barrier, but he was also a great player. Jackie hit over a .300 average and he could hit the ball anywhere. 26,623 fans came to Opening Day and half of them were black. Thousands of people came to see him play each day and he changed baseball forever.
