42
Release: April 12, 2013

A deep look into the life of Jackie Robinson, the first African American player to play in Major League Baseball. Signing in 1947 with the Brooklyn Dodgers, a young Robinson is just pushing to be seen as equal as every other player in the league during a time when American society feverishly argued that baseball is only a white man's game.

Reporter: " Baseball was proof positive that democracy was real. A baseball box score after all, is a democratic thing. It doesn't say how big you are, or what religion you follow it does not know how you voted, or the color of your skin, it simply states what kind of ballplayer you were on any particular day."
