As the president and general manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers i think we need to go in a diffrent direction to help this organization. many people will not understand what im doing at first but in the long run this is the best decision for this team right now. after a lot of deep thought i have decided to sign the first african american baseball player in the major leagues. i was looking for a curtain type of player. they had to be athletic, hard worker, and a person that people could respect. none of those things had color to it or a name but now it does. his name is Jackie Robinson and he will be the next great player and human being in this league.
Many know that im a religious person and i think that GOD woulnt disagree with me when i signed him so thats all i had to deal with. of course i know im going to get critized for this for years but i am willing to except that and at the same time i had to get a player that would be able to deal with the things Jackie is going to have to deal with. going up to bat being booo by everybody in the crowd and mostly likely having things thrown at him. its going to be even worse when we go on the road with hotels and travel plans but i really think i got a person that will be able to deal with that even though the average man would not able to
this is just my statement later i will doing a live interview with Howard Cosell many of you might not know him but you should know him in the near future i also think he will be a great anouncer. i will be open to any questions about why i decided to do this or anything that comes to mind or if you have any questions about Jackie i will be open to answers those as well.
ok that was an introduction to what i was going to do but it will end up being a first person interview with Branch Rickey (thats who i was in that press confrence) and he will be interviewed by Howard Cosell one of the best announcers in that day
