He started his coaching career as an assistant coach and later moved onto several managerial positions, such as St. Louis Cardinals and Brooklyn Dodgers. Rickey's contribution to the game of baseball revolutionized the sport, especially in terms of social justice and equal opportunity. More about Branch Rickey

Rickey's legacy in baseball does not just stem from his managerial roles, but also from the iconic decision he made as the Brooklyn Dodgers' general manager to sign Jackie Robinson as the first black player in the major leagues. It was a risky move, as Robinson was subjected to racial abuse and discrimination from both players and fans. However, Rickey was determined to challenge the long-standing ideology of segregation present in baseball and other aspects of American society. Rickey's decision paved the way for other black players, and he received widespread acclaim for his social justice initiatives, earning him a spot in the Baseball Hall of Fame.In total, we tracked 135 items since 01/01/2008.
