And the answer is ...
a) Jackie Robinson
Robinson, who played for the Brooklyn Dodgers for nine years, was the favorite player of Fred Wilpon, the owner of the Mets and a Brooklyn native. Known for breaking the color barrier in baseball, Robinson was also a standout player, winning MLB Rookie of the Year and playing in six All-Star games back to back. His quote, "A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives,” is engraved in the Citi Field rotunda that bears his name.
