Jack Roosevelt "Jackie" Robinson (1919-1972)

Jackie Robinson is famous for mainly two things: being the first black baseball player in the major leagues, and the outstanding career he had. One of my favorite "sports" stories about Jackie (who is still the only one to earn letters in four sports at UCLA) was around 1933 when he played ping-pong for the first time in his life and won the city championship. As the only black adult in the world of white professional sports, Jackie took jeers and jibes, hate and contempt without fighting back. Because of this he was able to make firm the place of blacks in major sports. Is this a lesson for all of us? What kind of childhood prepared this man for such success in such a difficult situation (and I am speaking of his success of his behavior, not the success of his baseball prowess)?
