On Nov. 18, 1949, Brooklyn Dodgers infielder Jackie Robinson was named the National League MVP after his third season with the club. After breaking the color barrier in April 1947, Robinson became the first African-American player to win the MVP Award.
To commemorate the 70th anniversary of Robinson breaking the color barrier, the Dodgers unveiled a statue of him at Dodger Stadium on April 15, 2017.
