11. Jackie Robinson Read legendary sports writer Maury Allen's portrait of the great jackie robinson, a baseball player who changed the course of American history. http://www.evesmag.com/robinson.htm

Jackie Robinson: An American Hero By Maury Allen LOS ANGELES DODGERS Jackie Robinson takes off from third and steals home in one of the most dazzling feats of World Series history! Game One, The 1955 World Series, 8th inning, the Brooklyn Dodgers trailing the Yankees 6 to 4! [The Dodgers won the Series!] Jackie Robinson reporting to the Brooklyn Dodgers from the minor league Montreal Royals, 1947. By Maury Allen The game of baseball is about runs, hits and errors, 70 homers by Mark McGwire and seven no hitters by Nolan Ryan, a .367 lifetime mark by Ty Cobb and 511 wins by Cy Young. It is about more than 15,000 people who have made it to the big leagues from Hank Aaron in alphabetical order to Dutch Zwilling over the last 130 years of organized record keeping. It is about people who get an instant moment of fame, not even Andy Warhol's 15 minutes, such as Moonlight Graham, a one gamer for the 1905 New York Giants until W.A. Kinsella made him famous in Field of Dreams , and Walter Alston with an at bat for the Cardinals in 1936. Only a Brooklyn Dodger World Series win in 1955 and a brilliant Hall of Fame managerial career saved him from lifelong obscurity. It is also about the recognition of the judges, the writers of baseball and the recognition of the peers, the players of the game.

NATION WORLD BUSINESS ARTS ... CURRENT ISSUE AP Jackie Robinson at spring training in 1952 Jackie Robinson He thrilled fans, shattered baseball's color barrier and changed the face of the nation By HENRY AARON Dubious Influences: Century's Villains and Antiheroes Five Captivating Romances: When Love Was the Adventure Monday, June 14, 1999 I was 14 years old when I first saw Jackie Robinson. It was the spring of 1948, the year after Jackie changed my life by breaking baseball's color line. His team, the Brooklyn Dodgers, made a stop in my hometown of Mobile, Ala., while barnstorming its way north to start the season, and while he was there, Jackie spoke to a big crowd of black folks over on Davis Avenue. I think he talked about segregation, but I didn't hear a word that came out of his mouth. Jackie Robinson was such a hero to me that I couldn't do anything but gawk at him. Muhammad Ali The American G.I. Diana, Princess of Wales Anne Frank ... Bill Wilson Categories Leaders/Revol. Artists/Entertainers Builders/Titans Scientists/Thinkers Jackie Robinson had to be bigger than life. He had to be bigger than the Brooklyn teammates who got up a petition to keep him off the ball club, bigger than the pitchers who threw at him or the base runners who dug their spikes into his shin, bigger than the bench jockeys who hollered for him to carry their bags and shine their shoes, bigger than the so-called fans who mocked him with mops on their heads and wrote him death threats.
