He grew up with his mom, dad, 4 siblings: Mack, Willa Mae, Frank, and Edgar. He joined a neighborhood gang and got into trouble until his friend made him quit the gang. His brother Frank brought him into Baseball. He made him try it and Jackie ended up lettering in 4 sports in high school. He lettered in baseball, Basketball, track, and football but, at the time baseball was not his favorite sport.

Robinson's father left the family when Robinson was a child. With five children to feed and not enough money, his mother worked hard to raise the children. Because of this, Robinson learned to make his own way in life at an early age.
