Jackie Robinson
Baseball's Brave Pioneer
They said I couldn’t play. I stole home.
I broke into the big leagues not just to play baseball, but to prove that courage and skill belong on every field. I faced jeers, threats, and silence, but I answered with grit and a swing that changed the game forever. Baseball gave me a shot, and I made sure it wouldn’t shut the door behind me.
What I'm Into: Dodgers blue, standing up to sit down, fastballs low and inside, the Negro Leagues, civil rights speeches
