Jackie Robinson takes on many obstacles including poverty and racism in his journey to become a professional baseball player. "A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives." This quote by Jackie Robinson provides a summary of his life. He had to face and overcome so many obstacles in order to stand on the field and play baseball with men who had little knoweldge of what he had been through, just what color his skin was.
