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.
