this is the story of a boy and his dream but more than man it is the story of an american boy and a dream that is truly american union but year nine hundred twenty now you can have it president of the united states greeting cigarette i can't afford to buy why not to get paid like the rest of us yeah i get paid a little it's got a wife in birmingham i have to spend every buck got a new baby coming in a couple of weeks to which i could  was going to a little boy stir rules and regulations new boy always goes but i guess that means you and jackie love well i have to do three things to see if we can heat inside to see if we can wash up  if we can't eat inside the bills except sandwich well i how many of them do you say because well i can make you sixteen be sandwiches and maybe the same in how many and doing it well i bought some fried potatoes on the science i don't understand this robinson don't you have a good mind or are you playing coy i waited for your line yes that's right that's the idea you don't mean you're really with the dodgers a you get a girl jacket well i don't know what you mean you don't know travelling around all the time and not right his office i should i think i still have a girl you'll need one you know i we brought you here no sir not exactly but i heard you were starting a kind of ball team is that it you know you were brought here to play with a broken organization might be all over start with of courage yeah sure oh well it might take more courage for the organization than for you jackie if you thought of that i hadn't thought of anything at all so it's that kind of it's basically between the on the ball field you can't fight back that's going to be the hard part you can't fight back again i don't know what kind of advice to give you only only there must be churches in a big town like new young manager go find yourself out on a white baseball field i don't know him i call me names they might even beat me up i don't mean what would happen to you today i mean what would happen to the colored people this is my life glad to know you my name is dave i'm an attorney here mr ricky asked me if i could help arrange accommodation for you then a man down about a month ago to look up a place for you to say i was very nice first let's see if i w you get that i got it no other human beings that are made that way just rich you really think he is a human being  movement against montreal jackie robinson it is a fact that some studies are expressing pretty strong sentiment so strong in fact that i hear the international league president jonathan well make a significant visit to the brooklyn dodger office and the media future  about a lot of trouble to be black and white quite about it all over the country and you'll be sorry you ever started it right guys than my whole life in baseball and i've always been proud of that because i've always thought baseball is a fine game a clean game i've always thought it had a good influence on the american people on the kids growing up i always thought baseball taught fair play and sportsmanship but if what you say is good and i've been all wrong all i've been wrong wasted even though the ball game a started excited fans are still crowding into this huge concrete horseshoe holiday strong eager and expectant but with one thing in mind what will the highly publicized jackie robinson stadium is on that boy anxious techies and they're waiting for the first pitch i just don't want to be on the same team with where you go in the united states yes and your parents where were they born my father was born in italy and your mother she was born at least till they came to america boy you apart and your father what did he work at when he first came to this country on anybody try to stop your mother and what do you mean your parents came to this country from italy and were allowed to work as free people and yet you a child in beneficiary of that freedom want to deny the same opportunity to an american whose parents and grandparents and great grandparents have been in this country for two hundred years is that  greetings from evansville they call it big league baseball folks because you've got to be bigger and better to stay up here that's a problem confronting jackie robinson at this very minute as he goes about for the first time big league game oh yes i know we've done alright in training i've seen the papers too but that was only practice from now on and sparky there's a little man upstairs in a press box he's known among other things as the official score he watches like a hawk mark down everything still make a mark for every move that jackie robinson makes good or bad and not only the officials for his eyes are on the negro rocky the whole world is waiting everybody wants to that's the idea all you have to do it but this now in the weather man apologizes for the recent rain well let's get serious folks they can stay the branch rickey hasn't given jackie robinson a king sized opportunity and staying in big league baseball on that last road trip on the california then live in the united states can be mighty tough for people who are no different from the majority i'm not full because i've had a chance open to a very few negro americans but i do know that democracy works for those who are willing to fight for it and i'm sure it's worth defending i can't speak for any fifty million people no one person can but i'm certain that i and other americans of many races and place have too much invested in our country's welfare to throw it away or to let it be taken from  country that is truly free a country where every child has the opportunity to become president of a play baseball for the brooklyn dodgers
