When Jackie Robinson came into the league there was not a single African American in baseball, and very few in any sport. He suffered through racial stereotypes, fans throwing things at him on the field, and the constant slander being yelled at him from the stands. Jackie however didn't let that affect him on or off the field, he knew that he was better than that, and had a future to protect. He took the league by storm by becoming the Rookie of the Year, and already was one of the best players in the league. He was the only player to suffer through racial slurs, unfair teams, and crazy managers but, he always kept composed, and acted as if he were the same as everyone else. He became a hero on and off the field. He was named to the all century
