A Sav is someone who stands out in his actions that show that he is fearless, ballsy, competent, and in simple terms just an every day Savage. A savage should not have to ask to be a Sav.

Sav of the Day
Jackie Robinson
Today's Sav of the Day, is Jackie Robinson. On this date April 15th, 1947 he pulled the ultimate Sav move by breaking the color barrier in the MLB. At age 28 he was the first African-American to ever play baseball in the MLB. He broke into the league with the Dodgers, who at the time were playing in Brooklyn. He wore the number 42, which is retired across all of baseball now to recognize his performance. He put up the stats that he did while constantly being under the spotlight, due to the racism during the time he played. He was constantly being heckled, and faced major discrimination throughout his whole career, and still made himself into one of the best that ever played.
