CoachNo, Jackie Robinson was a Major League Baseball player, not to be confused with Sugar Ray Robinson, who was a professional boxer, although they were acquaintances through mutual friend Joe Louis who was also a boxer. Robinson and Louis were friends because of their common issues with racism.

Has Jackie Robinson he ever got award?
Yeah!!! Rookie of the Year, MVP 9 years straight, (1947- 1956), his # (42) has been retired every year, Nobel Peace Prize (Same thing that Martin Luther King JR. won), he has Jackie Robinson day where almost every player wears #42 during their game, and many, many more!! Sorry, but Robinson was Rookie of the Year in 1947, the first time the award was presented, and he won the MVP award only once, in 1949.
Was the number forty-two ever used after Jackie Robinson?
Yes, the #42 was used up until the 1997 season when it was retired by MLB on the occasion of the 50th anniverisary of Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier. Those that wore the #42 at the time were allowed to continue wearing it. As of the 2008 season, there is only one player in MLB wearing the number, that being Mariano Rivera of the New York Yankees. Once Rivera retires no one else will ever wear the #42 in MLB.
