Quote context

[...]

- Let me tell you something. If you strike, you'll be striking not just against Robinson, but against them. And against them, you can't win.

- You listen to me, all of you!

- We call our baseball 'World Championship Ball'! The world's made up of more teams than one, more races than one!

- Baseball can't have pickpockets among its players. What you're about to do is to pick a player's pocket, rob him of a job!

- You can't win. Every fan in Flatbush is backing Robinson, and they're right!

- Brooklyn says there's not going to be any more guys startin' out with two strikes against 'em. They're outlawing the second strike!

- That's all I got to say, except, think this thing over. What you decide to do will decide the history of baseball.

- The fans are way ahead of you. Think it over.

- The boys thought it over a long time.

- And then, from where I'm sittin' in the bleachers, I saw 'em come out on the field and take their places.

- Then Jackie comes to bat again, and I hear this ump... Strike two! And the bleachers is still quiet! I see that they haven't been told that strike two's outlawed.

Listen. They say when a new music's bein' born, you get one kid like this who comes along years ahead of himself. This kid plays tomorrow's music today.

Some of these kids... are just like me. They hear the sound of a trumpet - they never forget it.
