- His number 42 jersey, which was retired by all major league teams in his honor
- Cool, confident personality
- As a lieutenant in the US Army during World War II, Robinson faced a court-martial in 1944 for refusing to move to the rear of an army bus (he was cleared of all charges and received an honorable discharge).
- Jackie's third child, David, lives in Africa where he operates a coffee farm with his wife and children.
- Was virtually blind and facing leg amputations at the time of his death as a result of complications from diabetes.
- Active Republican who was fiercely anti-Communist, but liberal on many other issues. He supported Nelson Rockefeller for president in 1964. He did support, however, Democrat Hubert H. Humphrey in 1968 over Richard Nixon.
- Starred in baseball, basketball, football and track at UCLA.
- Baseball was just a part of my life. Thank God that I didn't allow a sport or a business or any part of my life to dominate me completely. I felt that I had my time in athletics and that was it.
- Civil rights is not by any means the only issue that concerns me - nor, I think any other Negro. As Americans, we have as much at stake in this country as anyone else. But since effective participation in a democracy is based upon enjoyment of basic freedoms that everyone else takes for granted, we need make no apologies for being especially interested in catching up on civil rights.
