Fabulous "Feel Good" Sports Moments, Pt. 2

His name was Jackie Robinson.

And he became the first African-American MLB baseball player after 60 years of segregation in the sport.

He broke the color line and changed the world of baseball forever.

Six time All-Star, inducted into the Hall of Fame, and a member of the All-Century Team.

Once, it was unthinkable that a black man would ever play in the major leagues.

The team was Texas Western and they won the 1966 NCAA Championship over the favored—and all-white—Kentucky Wildcats.

You may have heard of them from a little movie called Glory Road.

Coach Don Haskins and his basketball team shocked the country when he created a team that revolved around five African-American starters. That was unthinkable in the '60s.

Once, we believed that desegregation would never happen.

Her name was Jackie Joyner-Kersee, and she didn't figure skate or play tennis like the other girls.

She had bigger dreams.

She became the first female athlete on the cover of Sports Illustrated in 1987 for her amazing skill at the long-jump and the heptathlon.

And she was named Greatest Female Athlete of the 20th Century by SI for women.

It was unthinkable that a woman could be a superstar athlete.

His name was Jim Abbott, and he was born without a right hand.

And he not only became a pitcher for the MLB, he went on to pitch a no-hitter for the New York Yankees in 1993 against the Cleveland Indians.

It was unimaginable that a man could play a professional sport with a disability.

His name was Michael Jordan.

And he could.

He changed the world of basketball forever and paved away for all of the young stars of today.

And he became the greatest basketball player and one of the greatest athletes of all-time.

He was unimaginable.

His name was Eldrick Woods.

We know him as Tiger.

He came in and took the white-dominated world of the PGA by storm and shook it up. He brought excitement and drama to a sport where clapping over a certain decibel could get you kicked out.

He rejuvenated it.

He became the youngest golfer to win the Masters.

And the first African-American.

It was unimaginable that an African-American would even be allowed to play at the Augusta National Golf Course.

Imagine they were told "no, you can't." And they believed it.

Hard to do isn't it? It's almost unimaginable to now imagine our lives without these icons and their impact.
