Jackie Robinson's Influence On Baseball

At the beginning of spring training one of the players said “Look at Dunnie and his new babe.” The name stuck with him and from that point forward he was called Babe instead of George (Ruth’s). While playing with the Ravens he performed very well leading to him being sold to the Major League team the Boston RedSoxs. Even though Babe is known for his hitting back in the Majors, he started out as a pitcher. Babe won his major league debut in July of 1914. The only issue was that the Red Sox’s roster was full, so Ruth was moved to their Minor league team the Providence Grays.

In the text it also says "Jackie Robinson broke the color bar in 1947. He joined the Brooklyn Dodgers and became the first African American to play major league baseball in the 20th century " (gale).

Baseball to Jackie Robinson was gateway to freedom, he was inspired by his older brother to pursue a career for what he had a talent and a love for athletics and Baseball. Jackie was arrested and court-martialed for refusing to give up his seat and move to the back of a segregated bus, but because of his reputation he received an honorable discharge. His courage and moral objection to segregation were precursors to the impact Robinson would have in major league baseball. Jackie Robinson broke the ‘’color barrier’’ by becoming the first African American to play Major League Baseball and inspired young black men to follow in his path and follow their dreams. Not only did he break the color barrier but he changed the society of America itself.

For years their competition was the White Sox. But for the first time in what seems to be years the Cubs have a much better record then the White Sox, and for once the Cubs will be going to the playoffs instead of the White Sox and people are excited about this. So in 2015 there really wasn’t much competition. The Cubs have a strong fan base right now, a few years ago the Cubs did struggle with having fans leave to the southside.

Ever since he was little he was involved in many sports but his favorite one was baseball. “I have memories. I remember standing alone at first base-the only black man on the field. I had to fight hard against my loneliness, abuse, and the knowledge that any mistake I made would be magnified because I was the only black man out there.” (Robison 287). This quote tells the readers that Robinson knows that everything he does matters because he’s the only black man on the fields, and how important it is for him to succeed.

The 1919 World Series players took part in a scandal mainly through the influence of manager Charles Comiskey. Charles Comiskey is the primary reason that fueled the team to throw the series away by his cheapness and overall dislike. The 1988 film Eight Men Out directed by John Sayles depicts an accurate depiction of how Charles Comiskey influenced the White Sox to throw away the series. Charles Comiskey is illustrated as an unfair manager: who paid his players the minimum, a manager who didn’t keep his promise for winning the pennant, and overall the players greatly disliked Comiskey. After the White Sox won, Eddie Cicotte was promised a $10,000 bonus from manager Charles Comiskey if he won 30 games.

Some baseball people predicted that Robinson would not make it simply because he was black. One New York reporter said, "Robinson may be going good now, but colored boys have no endurance.

The Cubs could have done better in Aug. Because the team couldn’t hit the ball and the pitchers couldn’t pitch. But first thing the Cubs coach said when they made it to the World Series

Surprisingly, I got the call to start on Opening Day in Chicago and pitched fairly well, getting pulled in the middle innings of a 1 to 1 game. We went on to lose 2 to 1 in the ninth, but I didn 't get a decision. This would be typical of the way Rigney used me for much of the season. He would often take me out of close, low-scoring games, even if I were pitching effectively and showed no signs of tiring. In one particular situation, while holding a commanding six or seven run lead, I was suspiciously pulled from the game after the fourth inning.

Outstandingly enough, he walked off that mound not conceding one run to the Phillies, which gave the crowd something to cheer about and he picked up the win, in just one inning that he pitched. Especially with the weather being as bad as it was with rain, which is a baseball player’s worst nightmare while playing. He needed to take other precautions while pitching. New York moved only 6 games back of the Wild Card leader and DiPolo’s E.R.A was reduced to a 4.06. With this win it gave the Mets players a positive look for winning the series after what they had accomplished in this game and taking a 1-0 series lead even though it is just the regular season.
