As a kid I was a Brooklyn Dodger fan. Jackie was my favorite. I batted like him, though not nearly as well. His color was never a factor in my admiration of him. I never thought of him as being different other than the fact that he was better than most of the other players. And certainly more exciting. A class guy who elevated the game of baseball. There's never been anyone like him. A true American hero.
