I usually devote this time to trivia questions about a team. I wanted to incorporate either Jackie’s history against the selected team and or the first African- American, but the selection process came up with the Rangers which post date the wave of first intergration. I did come across an article on the court martial of Jackie while serving at Camp ( now Fort)Hood.
http://www.archives.gov/publications/prologue/2008/spring/robinson.html Reading this makes me marvel that Jack could hold in the anger he must have felt the first two years of his MLB career. From what I gather from storiesabout Jackie he often took the racism of his day head on. He understood that if he was branded as crazy by fighting back against the racist attitdues of his day, A black player may not get this chance again. How would our society be had Jack failed? Shortly before his death Robinson took advantange of the Comishiner invitation to Game 2 of the 1972 World Series to address his hopes for baseball’s future
I think he would be proud of the Rangers and Manager Ron Washington
