Jackie Robinson Tribute - Baseball Hall of Fame
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 апр 2011
- A tribute to the legendary Jackie Robinson. Jackie Robinson burst onto the scene in 1947, breaking baseball's color barrier and bringing the Negro leagues' electrifying style of play to the Majors. He quickly became baseball's top drawing card and a symbol of hope to millions of Americans. With Robinson as the catalyst, the Dodgers won six pennants in his 10 seasons. He dominated games on the basepaths, stealing home 19 times while riling opposing pitchers with his daring baserunning style. Robinson was named National League MVP in 1949, leading the loop in hitting (.342) and steals (37), while knocking in 124 runs.

Saturnino Orestes Armas "Minnie" Miñoso Arrieta was a Cuban professional free agent baseball player playing for Cleveland Indians around that same time. The Cuban Comet is still alive and working in baseball for Chicago.
Great video, saddening music.
thx i loved the video its hot
This man was the right person for the job, because he was very qualified for it I meant the God giving talents in other eras of his life outside of sports made him great. Education, out spoken, and personality to charm people to break down boundaries and ontop of that he had his wife rachell with the same finesse , this man couldn't lose .
Thanks yo
Great American
There were 2 black players before Jackie Robinson in MLB. The first one was William Edward White who played in 1879 and the other one was Moses Walker who played in 1889. Source: Society for American Baseball Research.
That is correct as far as it goes, although his year was 1884, not 1889 (he played in the minors until 1889). It should also be noted that W.E. White was not known to be black at the time he played. And it should be noted that Walker's brother Welday played 5 games that same year in the major leagues before injuries shortened his career. And it is also correct that due primarily to the efforts of the first major league superstar (so described in his SABR bio) in the 19th century, player-manager Cap Anson (from Iowa) who refused to put his team on the field if Walker (and later black pitcher George Stovey) played. Anson had reluctantly agreed at the last minute to play a scheduled exhibition game in 1883 and Moses Walker's minor league team in 1883 when threatened with the loss of the gate receipts, but declared that it would be the last time he would play against a black player (except he used less genteel language). It was a time when players were threatening to start their own league, which they did in 1890 after forming the first union of pro baseball players. The National League had no intention of angering and losing its best drawing card. . And it wasn't like the owners had a strong loyalty to black players or a strong sense of social justice. Indeed, Anson wasn't alone in his beliefs and there was a growing push to ban black players at the time, but with the best player in the league leading the charge, it succeeded. By the 1890's there were no black players in the minor leagues.
Twice before 1920, John McGraw, manager of the NY Giants, tried to sign a black player to his team. One he tried to pass off as an American Indian and the other as a white Cuban. When their identities became known, the effort was dropped. During WWII with the major league teams feeling a scarcity of playing talent there were at least three attempts to integrate the game. Boston Red Sox scouts gave three black players (including Robinson) a try out, but their recommendations to sign the black players was turned down. The woeful Philadelphia Phillies had ownership problems and when Bill Veeck attempted to buy the team while making it known that he would sign black players to build up his roster, NL President Ford Frick arranged for the club to be turned over to the league, who then sold it to someone other than Veeck. (The Red Sox and Phillies would be among the last three major league teams to add a black player to their major league rosters.) And in 1943, the owner of the Pittsburgh Pirates attempted to sign star black catcher Josh Gibson. Here Commissioner Landis directly stepped in and thwarted the signing, saying that black players had their own league. He then had the audacity to repeat a line he had spoken many times in interviews, that there was no rule against blacks playing in the major leagues.
Branch Rickey made no moves to sign black players at this time. Why? He was astute enough to know that as long as Judge Landis was Commissioner of Baseball, he would not approve the contract of any black players in major league baseball.
But when Landis died and Rickey read that new Commissioner "Happy" Chandler didn't oppose black players in the major leagues, he began to make his plans and heavily scout black players. Even so, when it became clear that Rickey was likely to bring up Robinson to the Dodgers, at a meeting of club owners after the 1946 season, the owners voted 15-1 against Robinson or any other black players coming to the major leagues. But Chandler defied the vote and backed Rickey's plan to promote Jackie to Brooklyn. It probably cost him his job when his contract was up for renewal.
So while Jackie Robinson wasn't the first black players in the major leagues, he was the first black to break the color barrier that had been erected in the 19th century, a barrier formidable enough to last for about 60 years. There is plenty of evidence to attest to the strength of that barrier. The amount of strategy and even subterfuge that Rickey employed in 1945 to keep his intentions secret until the very last minute (his own scouts had been told that he was scouting players for a team he was forming for the Negro League) are testimony to the previously unscalable height of that barrier. And the amount of opposition that Robinson had to overcome from the fans in other cities and not only opposing players but some on his own team shows the depth of that barrier. But before President Truman integrated the U.S. military and before Brown v Board of Education, Robinson and Rickey (with an assist from Chandler) tore down that wall.
That isn't true because the MLB wasn't an official league until 1902.

Wrong. As usual. Psssh.

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D
They probably forced Jackie to retire. You know how they do when they want you out.
Even though that is a possibility given the times, ten years is a long time to play any sport, even baseball which isn’t as physically demanding as other sports like football or basketball.
ok
