All of us know that Jackie Robinson was very successful when he entered MLB in 1947. But I would like to know a few things:
1.) Do you feel Jackie Robinson HAD to succeed?
2.) If Jackie Robinson would have failed how long would it have been for another black athlete to be given a chance? (Now I know there was a guy who played for the Indians only a few months after Robinson was given his shot…last name Doby I believe. But he wasn’t really all that successful)
3.) What would the world of baseball be like now if Jackie Robinson would have not been all that great?
