One of the things that made Jackie Robinson the most valuable baseball player of his time, was when he was younger he led more than one sports to a championship. And that lead him to be in the National Hall of Fame. His greatest accomplishment was breaking the segregation barrier with sports.
Jackie Robinson as an African-American baseball player was on display for the whole country to judge. Jackie was the first baseball player to break Major League Baseballs color barrier that segregated sports for more than 50 years. I think that breaking segregation in sports is huge, because if blacks weren’t able to play baseball now then I don’t think baseball would be as interesting and exciting.
One of Jackie Robinsons accomplishment that I think was his greatest, was being a black male and making it to the Hall of Fame. Jackie Robinson became National League Rookie of the year with 12 homers, a league-leading 29 steals, and a .297 average at the end of his season with the Brooklyn Dodgers. !949, he was selected as the NL’s most valuable player of the year and had a .342 batting average that same year. He was inducted into the Baseball Hal of Fame in 1962. I think this is one of his greatest accomplishments because he was one of the first black males emitted into the Hall of
Fame.
The aspect from the creed that I think Jackie exemplifies is Overcome adversity and challenges. His family overcame prejudice encounters that his family encountered. And it strengthened their family bond. I think that it’s amazing that he and his family still keep their heads up even though people were being prejudice towards them and others of there color. His life legacy will be remembered as one of the most important in American history.
Jackie Robinson had many other accomplishments like how he became the first athlete to win varsity letters in four sports: Baseball, basketball, football and track. Dealing with segregation wasn’t the only struggles he had to deal with in his earlier years of his life. He had to leave college and enlist in the U.S Army due to financial difficulties. And his mother raised him and his four other siblings on her own.

1. You did a good job.
2. What you could improve on is comma's .
3. I learned, if you have a dream it can come true
Great details in explaining you eperson in detail. something to work on would be using more choice of words i got lost part way through trying to figure out what was trying to be said. i learneed that he broke the barrier of segregation in sports and hit 12 home runs. that and he was faced with many trials and overcame them.
I like how this poem looks like it was actually done. I think you could put more interesting facts. I learned that he was one of the first black people to make it into the Hall of Fame for baseball.
This is such an amazing paper.
carly your paper was awesome. I can tell you really did your research. your paragraphs look awesome. and are neat and well worded. i dont know if i can find a mistake with it. i never knew he was in the hall of fame. thats crazy cool
I like when you explain how Jackie Robinson went through as a young age while he was growing up and you should take out I think so others won't get confuse so they won't think that you just put anything on it but rest of it's good I learned that to make things better you got to go through challenges to make things better.
Carly you did a good job, you have great details. I think you did a great job the only thing is have more commas and make it sound more better so everyone can understand what you were talking about. I learned that he became a National Hall Of Fame.
