Jackie Robinson Stealing Home, 1952

Baseball Hall-of-Famer Jackie Robinson was not only gifted with incredible athletic skill; he also had the amazing courage to challenge the racial status quo. Robinson changed history by becoming the first 20th-century African-American to compete in the majors, win the MVP award and be recognized by the Hall of Fame. Playing for the Dodgers, he suffered brutal scorn to eventually break down the walls of segregation on the field.

Joltin’ Joe DiMaggio lives up to his name in the classic photo, “The Swing,” shot in 1941 during a 56-game hitting streak that was dubbed America’s all-time sports feat. Renowned for consistently hitting in game after game, the New York Yankee center fielder, a three-time MVP and 11-time All Star, DiMaggio had the fifth-most career home runs and the sixth-highest slugging percentage in history at the time of his retirement. The Baseball Hall of Fame inducted DiMaggio in 1955.

Installed in to baseball’s Hall of Fame in 1974, Mantle set World Series records for home runs, RBIs and some of the longest home runs in Major League history.
