i august is a special kid who had a messed up face at birth and his family does all they can to protect him from the real and mean world but they will have to keep his spirit for when he starts 5th grade next week.
the book i was reading was talk about negro league baseball it starts out on page 3 in the year 1943 black players were not treated as well as a white player the did not get uniform or any respect until one man named branch Rickey wanted to try one player out named Jackie Robinson he was an amazing player and fast runner but he had a bad temper and he would have to control it out on the field so Rickey tested Robinson by calling him every horrible name in the book at an interview with Robinson so Rickey at the end of the interview told Robinson he was testing and Rickey asked Robinson why he didn't fight back Robinson said i am here to play not make enemies.
now that the majors was picking black players the would only pick the young players that's when jackie robinson join the brooklyn dodgers now he has been picked he will have to keep his cool at a game.
now that the league is playing with white player there beating all them heck some white players would stop calling them colored and start calling them sir and even say good game to some of the players.
not all the black players got the chance in baseball but in some ceases the guys were just treated like second class people and that's not saying much still these men had a lot to offer.
now after their big loose the team will have to train harder but they will need someone who will take them and help them because if they don't find someone who will help and soon they will have to go back home in shame.
now that the league is back on the road they have a new place to head to new york for a big game but they don't really ready for it because they didn't have much practise to start with.
cool papa jay was one of the fastest pitchers in negro league history but does what he can to win and to get to a game one time but yet he struggles to ignore the people who tell him he can't.
rube is one of the greats but is sent to jail for gambling but now they have to find another pitcher for their team so they can keep playing.
