Jackie Robinson was a Jack of all trades in baseball. He was both an exellent hitter and fielder and played every game to the best of his ability. Not only did he dominate his sport in an athletic sense, but he also set a precedent in the major leagues for players of different races to be integrated into American sports. Today he is looked upon as an American hero and is the only player to have his number (42) retired throughout the entire league. Jackie Robinson started a revolution in sports that still shows.
