JACKIE ROBINSON (3rd BASE)Jack Roosevelt “Jackie” Robinson (January 31, 1919 – October 24, 1972)theGrio’s 3rd baseman would be Jackie Robinson. A second baseman by trade, Robinson wouldn’t mind shifting around for his team’s success. Breaking baseball’s color barrier in 1947, Robinson dealt with prejudice and racism when it was at its all time high. With adversity everywhere, Robinson let his play on the field speak for itself.

In honor of his achievements on and off the field, Robinson has had his number (42) retired by the entire league.6× All-Star selection (1949, 1950, 1951, 1952, 1953, 1954)Negro League All-Star selection (1945)
