Jackie Robinson
Jackie Robinson, 2B
Career: 1947-56, Dodgers
Fun fact: Stole home 19 times
His impact as a trailblazer sometimes overshadows how good he was as a player. Segregation prevented him from debuting until the age of 28, yet he still led the NL in wins above replacement five times after breaking the color barrier.
A career .311 hitter, Robinson had gap power, speed and was an integral part of the only Brooklyn team to win the World Series.
