Jackie Robinson, a trailblazer who broke the color barrier in baseball, was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962 with 77.5% of the votes, making it on his first appearance on the ballot.
The 1962 Hall of Fame class included another first-ballot entrant, Bob Feller, making it the first instance of two first-ballot Hall of Famers being inducted simultaneously in baseball history.
