Question

What was true about Jackie Robinson?

Answer 1

Answer:

(C) He suffered bad treatment but led the way for others.

Explanation:

Jackie Robinson was the first African American baseball player who played in the modern era Major League Baseball (MLB). Robinson first played in MLB on April 1947, with the Brooklyn Dodgers team, which is a feat considering the racism that was happening to black baseball players at the time.  

In 1945, the Boston Red Sox baseball club deliberately conducted trials for black players including Robinson just to embarrass them. When Robinson had managed to join the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1946, he still had to dispute with a teammate and also an opponent who refused to play against him. Despite much pressure, Robinson remained focused on his playing, which culminates in his win for the MLB Rookie of the Year Award in 1947 alongside becoming an all-star for 6 seasons in a row from 1949 to 1954.
