1939-1941  棒球传奇  打破障碍者  英雄

当棒球拒绝他时，他坚持了下来

杰基·罗宾逊是第一个打破棒球大联盟肤色隔阂的选手，他不仅仅是一个天才运动员。，毫不夸张地说，他总是能改写比赛的结局。他向世界展现了伟大与肤色无关，以及，真正的胜利有时并不只是发生在赛场上。在UCLA，他是第一个一年里进入四个大学体育代表队的学生。UCLA并不是他获得运动能力的源头，而成为当时种族最混合的大学橄榄球队的一员，也许让他意识到并不是所有人都在乎肤色。也许身处这个欢迎新思想的环境帮助他忍受嘲弄，威胁，所谓优雅，高贵，荣耀的老思想。UCLA没有帮助他进入大联盟，但我们确实培养了他对自己的信心。

Jackie Robinson

UCLA 1939-1941

When baseball wouldn't let him in, he refused to be out.

The first player to break the color barrier in Major League Baseball, Jackie Robinson was more than an incredible athlete. He was a literal game-changer. He showed the world that greatness is colorblind, and sometimes the real victories happen off the field. At UCLA, he was the first person to letter in four varsity sports in a single year. And while UCLA cannot claim to be the source of his athletic ability, perhaps being on the most racially integrated college football team at the time showed him that not everyone believed in barriers. Perhaps being in an environment that welcomed new ideas helped him endure the jeers, the threats, the old way of thinking with such grace, dignity and honor. UCLA didn’t get Jackie Robinson into the Majors, but we certainly nurtured his belief that he could.
