My awesome grandfather always was a huge baseball (and hockey) fan. One day during his honeymoon in New York, he got up early, went for a walk, and stopped by the stadium or whatever for the Dodgers''s practice. As soon as he said he was from Montreal, Jackie Robinson became happy to meet him and shake his hand. He said he'd always find time for people from Montreal because they treated him well while he was there. My grandparents met a lot of cool people over the years, but that one story always stuck with me somehow.
Jackie Robinson is a legend. Especially given the racism that still exists among the baseball fan base he did something subversive and just! bit by bit lets fight against racism.
Toughest professional Athlete ever. = Jackie Robinson can you imagine his inner strength an courage. That's all we can do is "imagine". He lived what others dreamt.
the first African American to play regularly in the big leagues wasn’t the Brooklyn Dodgers Jackie Robinson , it was Moses Fleetwood “Fleet” Walker. On May 1, 1884, the 26-year-old Walker was the catcher for the Toledo Blue Stockings in their opening game in the then-major league American Association. Six decades later, while Robinson was hailed as a pioneer, Walker was seen more as a curiosity.
Jackie Robinson: 1. Brooklyn Dodgers 2. Kansas City Monarchs 3. UCLA 4. #42 5. Montreal Royals 6. 1x time MLB World Series Champion 7. MLB Rookie of the Year 8. Civil Rights 9. MLB Hall of Famer 10. The Plate Stealer
For the “actually” people it’s true that Jackie was not the first African American player in pro ball…but technically he was the first in the current MLB. The current MLB came together in 1903 when the NL and AL came to an agreement. At the end of that season we had the first World Series in MLB. Moses though what he did was an awesome achievement, did that before the current MLB came into existence, therefore technically Jackie is the first. Be that as it may, let’s celebrate breaking barriers point blank period.
As a Mexican American, I have no one more to thank for his integrity and commitment to the game than Jackie Robinson. Had he not broke the barrier back then, many kids like me would not be able to play the game as I did as a child and growing up in high school. I may be a Padres fan, but I’ll always be a fan of 42.
Actually Moses Fleetwood Walker in the 1880s was the first black player in MLB (or at least the best known). Jackie is the first black player of the modern era (1901- ).
He's the Greatest Baseball player of all time IMO. It's not only what you do in the stadium but what you did out of it also. Trailblazer. Athlete of the Century!
He wasn't really the first African American to play MLB. In the early days of professional baseball, it was not segregated. It became segregated in the late 19th century.
You are correct. MLB made moves in the early 20th century to bar/ban people of color from the Major Leagues. Mr. Robinson was the first person to integrate baseball in the modern era hence his preeminence in American society and MLB. He was a pioneer, a great Baseball player and a Great American.
fun fact this is a incorrect belief the actual first baseball player is Moses Fleetwood Walker where he played from 1884 to the 1920's 20 years before jackie robinson while he didn't break the color barrier he was the fast
Listen, u have people thinking Tiger Woods faced racism. That is untrue. He never suffered harm in reaction to his race, like so many who came B4 him. Jackie Robinson suffered from Racism, which was deplorable. I do not accept that making what u think is a silly joke, which involves one's race, is Racism. It is not. For if it was, then what we call racism today is not such a bad thing & it is.
It has always been believed that Jackie Robinson was the first black to play in the majors but that is incorrect. He may be the first black to play in a complete season and further, but not the first black player ever to play in a major league game. This is just one of many events throughout history where the truth is either stretched or completely incorrect. 👍
I'm here because February is Black History Month and it's not February but I want to do it now so I don't have to do anything on February so I can just chill with my friends watching TV having sleepover eating popcorn marshmallows s'mores ice cream hot dogs chocolate cotton candy slushies more candy and more candy and drink some water and juice and just play on my iPad with a stylus that I'm going to get
FALSE Jackie Robinson was if not the best, the second best player in the NLB. He also want the most level headed either. He was chosen cause he was the best, and they wanted to win.
I feel bad for the second black guy to play. That’s quite an achievement, also, but he’s never mentioned in any of the 437,954 celebrations that Jackie has had. That’s how this country is. Just like Mark Martin in 1998.
POV: You're here watching this video to take the Mid Unit Assessment in ELA and trying to get an A because you can't afford to get kicked out of the house
How long are going to taking about him baking the color belier are we going to be talking abot that until the end of tme? You talk about him and it's okay for what Hillary did, let's get things in prospecetic, she is acrook.
MOSES FLEETWOOD WALKER. First black to play on a MLB TEAM. Sorry your title is technically INACCURATE! P.S. this was way even before Hitler olympics in Germany.
Okay and this video pays tribute to him being one of them. He’s honorable so he deserves this. You didn’t have to comment or even watch this video if you’re so annoyed 😭
He wasn’t the first black baseball player, just another lie that everyone continues to tell that goes unchecked. Btw Jacky Robinson was an all-star player at best.
If he was an below average player at best he still deserves props? What are you talking about being an all star with people trying to hurt you calling you slurs all because your black and you became an all star that’s crazy
Im here after watching 42. Thank you Mr. Jackie Robinson for paving the way for all black baseball players.
I literally just watched the movie too😢

@1:40
Am sick of hearing about jackie are we going to be reminded of him. Until the end of time
Yeah that’s kind of what happens when you’re an legendary figure you 🤡. You also purposely clicked on this video.
weird that you would comment this knowing what he has done for the game why are you mad that he’s getting the respect he deserves
He wasn’t the first black baseball player, just another lie that everyone continues to tell that goes unchecked. Btw Jacky Robinson was an all-star player at best.
Black and African American is different but ur right he was not the first of his kind
imagine trying to downplay something like this 👍
If he was an below average player at best he still deserves props? What are you talking about being an all star with people trying to hurt you calling you slurs all because your black and you became an all star that’s crazy
