Jackie Robinson would have been 93 on January 31st. He’s today’s Friday Face.
Jackie put up with a lot of bullshit in the Army, where they tried to court-martial him with trumped up charges after he refused an order to the back of a bus. He was eventually acquitted and given an honorable discharge.
Robinson shattered the color line when he debuted with the Brooklyn Dodgers in April 1947, a watershed moment in the Civil Rights movement.
In his 10 seasons, he appeared in six World Series games, including the Dodgers’ 1955 win.
He portrayed himself in “The Jackie Robinson Story.”
He played in 6 All-Star Games and was MLB Rookie of the Year in 1947 and MVP in 1949. He made the Hall of Fame in 1962. His number, 42, was retired from all major league teams.
He was the first black TV analyst in MLB. He helped establish the Freedom National Bank, an African-American-owned financial institution based in Harlem.
Robinson died of a heart attack at age 53 in 1972.
