It's a baseball and a mitt! Why, you ask? Today, April 11, is the day that, in 1947, Jackie Robinson became the first African-American in modern major-league baseball. On April 15, Jackie Robinson made his major-league debut at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn, New York. He was first baseman for the Dodgers. At the end of the season, he had great stats that earned him the first ever national Major League Baseball Rookie of the Year Award!
