For my leader I chose Jackie Robinson, for he was the first black major league baseball player. He broke the baseball color line in 1947 with the Brooklyn Dodgers. As for he was the first, he put an end to racial segregation among baseball, which also added to the civil rights movement. He played in 6 World Series with the dodgers and won MLB Rookie of the year in 1947. Today some of the most talented and well known players are from the african american race, and baseball would not be the same. He is a LEGEND!!
