Here’s where the controversy should really hit full swing.

Of course Robinson is one of the most important players in sports—not just baseball—history.

For a five-year stretch was arguably the game’s most complete player, averaging over .320, 80 RBI, 100 runs and 60 extra base hits a year from 1949-53, stealing bases and playing great defense.

And in the postseason, he was just as valuable: only a select few New York Yankees ever scored more career runs in the World Series.

But for now (read the next slide for more reasons) let’s just say he was the greatest Brooklyn Dodger of all time.
