He was a record breaker and a legendary athlete.
Thursday marked what would have been the 100th birthday of famed baseball player Jackie Robinson. A natural athlete, Robinson played football, baseball, basketball and ran track during his years at the University of California Los Angeles. But it was baseball that he stuck with.
Robinson made history for many things but one of the most notable was that he was the first black man to play baseball in the major leagues, according to Britannica.
