In 1946, Branch Rickey put himself at the forefront of history when he
signed Jackie Robinson to the team, breaking Major League Baseball's
infamous color line. But the deal also put both Robinson and Rickey in
the firing line of the public, the press and even other players. Facing
unabashed racism from every side, Robinson was forced to demonstrate
tremendous courage and restraint by not reacting in kind, knowing that
any incident could destroy his and Rickey's hopes. Instead, Number 42
let his talent on the field do the talking -- ultimately winning over
fans and his teammates, silencing his critics, and paving the way for
others to follow.
