Jackie Robinson has made such a diffrence in the world! :)!! He has said this quote I'm not concerned with your liking or disliking me ... all I ask is that you respect me as a human being. Everyone should be respected as a human being. Even if you are diffrent.

"he was only signed as a publicity stunt!"
We, the American and now global public, don't watch professional baseball to see grown men scratch their crotches in the dugout. We watch it for entertainment. If we wanted to watch baseball sans entertainment value we'd do the following:
Get rid of the DH
Re-institute some of the dead-ball era rules(though we'd keep the batting helmets)
Shrink the rosters
Shrink the glove sizes
Make the outfields larger

"Get your facts straight"
The rules were changed to institute a minimum height requirement for the strike zone which counted pitches thrown over Gaedel's head as strikes. If you change the rules to block a player, you're discriminating. Besides, a major league pitcher should be able to hit the real Gaedel strike zone.
"And Jackie has a lifetime batting average of 311 with 748 career RBIs and was known for exception defense. "
Yes, he was an excellent player.

@MegaAstrodude Gaedel did have one AB, was walked on four pitches, replaced with a pinch runner and he was only signed as a publicity stunt! He wasn't discriminated against, he just didnt have the talent. And Jackie has a lifetime batting average of 311 with 748 career RBIs and was known for exception defense. He would have earned the Hall of Fame even if he were white.
Get your facts straight

They didn't let Eddie Gaedel play and they won't even apologize for their height discrimination. At least Robinson got an apology and Hall of Fame despite getting only about 1500 hits in the Major Leagues.
