Some people leave their mark on the world. Some athletes change how a sport is played and viewed with their talent and personality. Some examples are Michael Jordan, Johan Cruyff, Wayne Gretzky, Joe Montana, and Jackie Robinson.
Precisely, the latter changed the way baseball was conceived, of attacking the bases and fighting against pitchers.
Jackie Robinson is also the symbol of the fight against racism, against a society anchored in backward prejudices, and that was forced to evolve by seeing a black player, the first to step on a Major League field, be the best they had ever seen.
