Baseball's Legend - Jackie Robinson
Imagine yourself in the stands of a baseball game on a spring day. The crowd cheering and the smell of popcorn in the air. The year is 1947 in the city of Brooklyn, New York and you’re about to see history in the making. For the first time in history a black man takes the plate. By this doing he is about to break the social status of the black man. But not all are happy about this event. There are some that want things to stay the way it was. Every man is searching for some kind of acceptance in his life. Weather it’ll be trying to be accepted by his peers or by just himself.

Some to consider him to be one of the best baseball players of all time and some just think of him as another Negro that’s trying to play a white mans game. Jackie Robinson is the first black man to join the NBL (national baseball league). He joined the Brooklyn Dodgers and not all people are pleased about it.
