Quote context

[...]

- Besides, I think they're making too much out of an ordinary ballplayer, don't you think, Clay?

- He led the league in hitting'.

- Mmm... Minor League.

- And we won the Little World Series, too.

- Oh, I'm not complaining, it's just that I don't want to burden a fair ballplayer with the responsibilities of a superman.

- Of course, Jackie might hit big league pitching.

- But suppose he did come up. How do we know that he could... Well, that he wouldn't get out of hand? How do we know?

- You don't have to worry none about that boy. He is the greatest competitor I ever saw. And what's more, he's a gentleman.

- Well I'm glad to hear it.

- Bring it right here, right through you to me. Right in the face with it. That's close, But not close enough.

- Here it is. Right here. Right there. Right through the middle. That's close enough. Send it back.

- Have you made up your mind on Robinson yet?

- I think we'll let him stay in Montreal another year.

Top rated lines from this movie

But I am certain that I, and other Americans of many races and faiths, have too much invested in our country's welfare to throw it away or to let it be taken from us.

I'm not fooled because I've had a chance open to 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.

That's just like you. The first thing on top is your glove. What are you gonna do with it? -I don't know. Don't know if I'll ever do anything with it again.

And every eye in this stadium is on that boy, anxious, as Jackie stands there waiting for that first pitch.
