Summary

     Jackie Robinson is a courageous, selfless, disciplined, and famous man. He may have been an African American (A.A.), but he was an amazing baseball player. Branch Rickey was a bossy man, he wanted to put an A.A on the white Brooklyn Dodgers. However, he had to tell the public that he was forming a new negro team, the Brown Dodgers, because white racists would be furious. A Dodgers scout, Clyde Sukeford, found Robinson and asked him if he wanted to join the "Brown Dodgers." Jackie accepts and later, Rickey tells Robinson the truth, that he is offered the job on the Dodgers. Despite that, Rickey was hard on him, he kept yelling at him what people might say when he's out on the field. He said that Jackie can't and shouldn't fight back, now Jackie is rethinking his choices. He asks him if he just wanted to find a A.A. ball-player who didn't have the guts and who is a coward to stand up for himself. Branch corrects him by telling him, "I'm looking for a ball-player with the guts not to fight back." Jackie takes the job and becomes number 42 for the Brooklyn Dodgers.
