Jackie Robinson Steals Home

In the first game of the 1955 World Series between the New York Yankees and Brooklyn Dodger Jackie Robinson stole home base on a pitch from Yankee Whitey Ford. The Dodgers would lose the game 5-6 but win the series in 7 games. Robinson is known for being the first African-American to play Major League Baseball in the modern era and a particularly gifted athlete. Robinson's humility and class in the face of blatant racism would inspire other professional athletes to follow in his footsteps. That said, I still can't tell whether he made it home safe or not!
