“But it don't bother me. I never yet saw anybody hit the baseball with their face.”

“A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives.”
Meaning: Robinson, who broke baseball's colour barrier in 1947, wrote this in his autobiography to measure a life by its effect on others rather than its trophies. For an athlete or anyone, results matter less than who they lift. Ask today whom you could mentor, encourage or stand up for.
