75 years ago, on #ThisDayInHistory, Jackie Robinson, age 28, became the first Black American player in Major League Baseball. On this day, he broke the color barrier in a sport that had been segregated for more than 50 years. In 1949, the right-hander was named the National League’s Most Valuable Player and the league batting champ. He played on the National League All-Star team from 1949 through 1954 and led the Dodgers to six National League pennants and one World Series victory, in 1955. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962, his first year of eligibility. Despite his talent and success as a player, Robinson faced tremendous racial discrimination throughout his career, from baseball fans and some fellow players. In 1997, his groundbreaking career was honored and his uniform number, 42, was retired from Major League Baseball. To read more about Jackie Robinson, visit the link in our bio.
