- From coast to coast.

- Yes. For players who can help us win.

- Many of the men we saw were good. Some had great promise. Like you.

- There's more here than just playing. I wish it just meant runs and hits and errors, the things you can see in a box score.

- A box score. You know, a box score is really democratic, Jackie. It doesn't say how big you are, or how your father voted in the last election, or what church you attend. It just tells you what kind of a ballplayer you were that day.

- Well, isn't that what counts?

- It's all that ought to count. And maybe some day it's all that will count.

- That's why we brought you here. I wanna see if we can make a start in that direction.

- It'll take a lot of courage.

- Yeah. It sure will.

- It might take more courage for the organization than for you, Jackie. Have you thought of that?

- Thanks.
