Jackie Robinson’s success

As the first African American ball player, Jackie Robinson

was a very good baseball player. He was as fierce as a
cougar, braver than a lion. He was an amazing baseball
player. Jackie Robinson was so good he was recruited to
a team called the Dodgers In the Major league.My
thoughts are that it was family, friends and fans that
helped Jackie break the color barrier.

One person that helped Jackie was his wife Rachel.

This is because during games people yelled and said
really bad things, after games he could just go to his wife
just talk about how his game went and to cheer him up if
people were yelling at him during his game’s.I know this
because in the text it says “After games I talked about how
it felt to sit in the stands and see people yell at my
husband.”

Another example of a person that helped Jackie, was

his friend Pee Wee Reese. Pee Wee during games heard
people yell at him to not play with a black man , but Pee
Wee did not care he instead walked up to Jackie on first
base and then he started talking to Jackie but nobody
remembered what he said. I know this because in the text
it said “Some fans yelled at the captain Pee Wee Reese
they told him that he shouldn't be playing with a
southerner and that he shouldn’t be playing ball with a
black man but he didn’t even dare to take a glance at the
stands instead he walked up to my father and talked to
him.”

But in the end now you know that family ,friends

and fans are what was most important in Jackie
Robinson's success. Also that Rachel and Pee wee
reese were important also if Pee wee and Rachel
were not there all of us wouldn’t be here together also
be in school and play together right now.
