Jackie Robinson Day 2011 immortalizes the 64th day of remembrance of his historical debut in Major League baseball game with the Brooklyn Dodgers. The anniversary simultaneously commemorates the breaking of the color barrier in baseball game, as Jack Roosevelt Robinson was the 1st black actor to act in the MLB about 14,000 of the 26,623 in attending at Robinson's 1st game, which took place at Ebbed Field, were dark patrons. While Robinson's debut transferred the game always, and would build him a legend, the first reaction by teammates and the press was mixed, but generally positive. However, there was immediately controversy in the Dodgers' clubhouse, as a few white actors openly stated they would like to sit than act alongside Robinson. The controversy rapidly ended once management got involved, as manager Leo Durocher stood up for Robinson and what he could do for the team. Robinson would become the 1947 Rookie of the Year. Earlier joining the Dodgers in 1947, Robinson 1st acted in The Negro Leagues with the KS City Monarchs in 1945, and then in the International League with the Montreal Royals in 1945 (this was essentially the minor leagues). In 1955, later 8 of his 9 years with the Dodgers had passed; the team acquired the World Series over the NY Yankees, despite the championship matchup occurring sixfold over the course of Robinson's career. The barrier-breaking legend adjourned from baseball game in 1956, and passed away United Nations Day, 1972 at the age of fifty-three. Jackie Robinson
