On April 15, 1947, Jackie Robinson stepped onto Ebbets Field for his first game with the Brooklyn Dodgers, breaking the MLB "color line" as the first black player to play in the league. Jackie's example of character, dignity, and toughness continues to inspire us today. While playing for the Dodgers' affiliate in Montreal, Robinson formed the Jackie Robinson All-Stars, a collection of minor and major leaguers who toured around the country, giving fans a chance to see their heroes up close and personal.
