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.
Jackie Robinson was feeling uneasy about the opening day of the world series because he was the first black person to play baseball in the MLB.
2009's Independence Day was July 4th on a Saturday.
