Quote context

[...]

- Team decided! And what do you think about the people, the fans out there? What have they decided?

- 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.

- Now listen!

- 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.

Top rated lines from this movie

The kid left her and went back to me, the trumpet, and blew until his cheeks ached and his lips cracked and split, but he kept on.
You're the one who can make the trumpet talk... and tell the truth.
I know baseball, mister. It's a hard, aggressive game. But you can't swing hard on your knees. You got to stand up and fight. That's the way I look at it.

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