A compilation of some of Jackie Robinson's highlights at the University of California at Los Angeles. Jackie Robinson was one of the most influential people in the history of the United States for his role in integrating Major League Baseball and his impact on Civil Rights. However, before his trailblazing professional baseball career, Robinson was a dominant tailback at UCLA. During his two years in Los Angeles, Robinson displayed the speed, throwing ability, and tenacity that would become his trademark on the baseball diamond.

I looked around youtube and there are a couple of his games uploaded, and there's some other random footage from other videos. And I'm glad I could upgrade your knowledge.

Awesome! What an athlete. He seems to run on his toes in the same upright running style that he used on the basepaths.

This is the most amazing thing I have ever seen!! Love all your videos Pocky, and this is an exclusive. Wow! You know talent! Jackie played Qb and looked like a modern Qb in the early 40’s. This was amazing to see. A treat for the eyes. Thank you

The part of the movie 42 when the racist restuarant wouldn't serve Jackie was actually something that happened when he was in college. And the person who told them that if they wouldn't serve Jackie then none of them would eat there was my Grandfather Ned Mathews. One of the 4 HBs that played for UCLA. He went on to play for the 49ers and Lions

Not only was Jackie the first Black Baseball player in MLB, he was the first Black QB for NCAA football. I could be wrong but I just might be right! Another thing, his Career Accolades were his All American honors. Great job fam!

Again! Your the man! I didn't know there was highlights of Jackie Robinson on the net.

@PockyCandy 7 жыл бұрын

lol I didn't know either, until I started working on the video. I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of footage I found. There's more complete games featuring Robinson in the 1930's than there are featuring Ladainian Tomlinson in the late 90's.

Crazy. You can find anything about players of old, but not the ones who played recently. Thanks again

That UCLA team had and amazing offense. As good as Robinson was the star of those teams was Kenny Washington.

Woody Strode, Washington and Robinson on the same squad.

Funny how they had protective helmets for college football years before they did in pro baseball, people must’ve not been too sharp back then
