31 It's gonna be real tough for a while. A lot of people don't want a Negro in baseball. -I know.
32 Mr. Rickey, do you want a ballplayer who's afraid to fight back?
33 Oh, that's the trouble with you, Frank. There you go, butting again.
34 On the other hand, every step forward for our people has started a fight somewhere. For the time being, anyhow.
35 Well, I don't know what kind of a man I am, Reverend, but I think I'm a pretty good ballplayer.
36 And every eye in this stadium is on that boy, anxious, as Jackie stands there waiting for that first pitch.
37 And Jackie, I wasn't kidding about that either. They certainly have a lot of respect for you out there. -I have a lot of respect for them, too. Believe me.
38 And now, here's the moment everyone's been waiting for. This big crowd is silent and tense as Jackie stands there at the plate.
39 He's a right-handed batter, you know, stands well back in the box, feet wide apart. Very good form.
40 My name's Robinson. Jackie Robinson.
