In 1957, Jackie Robinson announced his retirement from Baseball after a storied career with the Brooklyn Dodgers. The decision came amid increasing tensions and challenges he faced both on and off the field, including racial discrimination and the toll of being a trailblazer in Major League Baseball. That same year, he was also appointed as the first African American vice president of a major American corporation, Chock Full o'Nuts, marking a significant step in his post-baseball career. Robinson's legacy continued to influence the sport and civil rights movements long after his retirement.
