Jackie Robinson Throws the Opening Pitch
October 15, 1972
In Robinson's phenomenal baseball career, he was voted Most Valuable Player, won a World Series with the Dodgers against their New York rivals, the Yankees, and was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. For many of his retired years, Robinson refused to set foot into a stadium in a personal boycott, demanding the hiring of more minorities in baseball's managerial and front-office positions.Robinson left behind an amazing record of baseball accomplishments and a heroic beginning for others, perhaps some of your favorite players.
