运动员。积极分子。图标。杰基·罗宾森是谁?杰克罗宾逊罗斯福出生于1919年1月31日,在开罗,格鲁吉亚,虽然他花了他大部分的童年帕萨迪纳,加利福尼亚州。高中毕业后,他参加了帕萨迪纳大专,后来,加州大学洛杉矶分校。罗宾逊已经一个杰出的运动员,擅长足球,篮球,田径,当然,棒球。罗宾逊在1942年加入了美国陆军,经过两年的服务,他面临军事法庭拒绝坐在后面的一个军事巴士大约11年前罗莎·帕克斯的类似法案带来的阻力隔离过境国家关注的问题。鲁滨逊回到了田径,加入堪萨斯城的君主,密苏里州的棒球队,属于黑人美国联盟。1945年10月23日,罗宾逊签署了《蒙特利尔皇家国际联盟的小联盟棒球队隶属于布鲁克林道奇队。 He was the first Black player in the International League since the 19th century and—when he was transferred to the Dodgers in 1947 after leading the International League in batting average—he became the first Black player in modern Major League Baseball as well. On the field, Jackie Robinson found immediate success: in 1947 he led the league in stolen bases and was voted Rookie of the Year. In 1949 he was voted the National League MVP. Robinson’s presence in the league often put him in danger. Racist fans threw bottles and yelled slurs from the stands. Some of his teammates protested playing alongside a Black man, and other teams threatened to strike if they had to play against the Dodgers. With segregation still legal in the United States, Robinson was also often barred from staying in the same hotels or eating in the same restaurants as the rest of his team. Jackie Robinson died on October 24, 1972, after a decade in baseball and two more decades as a businessman and civil rights activist working with the NAACP. In 1997, on the fiftieth anniversary of Robinson’s crossing the color line in baseball, his number—42—was retired from Major League Baseball in his honor.
