How Jackie Robinson Persevered
Jackie Robinson has overcome a lot of adversities and hardships to become well respected. The reason why he was successful and is known today is because he has gone through all the hardships and triumphs to become the successful person which he had turned out to be.
When Branch Rickey began his mission to look for an african american to have the heart and the guts to play major league baseball, he came across Jackie and that is who he chose to test his noble experiment. Rickey had asked Robinson if he had the guts to not fight back. Robinson was disturbed because he felt offended that someone was asking him if he was brave enough to play the game of baseball. Branch Rickey had warned Jackie Robinson of all the bad things that can possibly happen. He said that Jackie would face beanballs, racial words, unfair umpires, people intentionally trying to hurt him. Branch was warning him of the things players would do to him.
