From Brooklyn to L.A the Dodgers have been talked about a lot. Even all the back when Jackie Robinson was the first African Amarican to play baseball the Dodgers are a huge topic. Jackie Robinson had a huge impact on the game. Without him people with color would probably still not be playing baseball. Jackie Robinson was talked very poorly about at his time, even in the game the people in the stands and the other teams managers would call him racial names. Jackie had to contain himself and not fight back because if he did he knew he'd be kicked out of the MLB and he knew the people would lie and say he started it because he is a colored person. Without him some of the great players in the whole MLB who are colored wouldn't be palying. Like Adrian Gonzalez, Yasiel Puig, Big Papi and many more. So we owe Jackie Robinson a huge thank you!
