Jackie Robinson made history when he started at first base for the Brooklyn Dodgers on April 15, 1947. Until that time, black ballplayers had only played in the Negro Leagues. Robinson went on to an extraordinary baseball career, winning Rookie of the Year that first season and League MVP two years later.
