It was April 14, 1947 the day before Jackie Robinson plays his first game in the MLB. I was excited to see the first African American play in the MLB. I am going to the store to buy baseball cards, I see him standing in front of the store, so i ran over to him and said “are you Jackie Robinson,” Jackie says “yes I am kid and what might your name be,” “James, are you nervous about tomorrow” Jackie says“yeah James i’m gonna be screamed at, harassed, and so much more just because i’m black and i want to play baseball.”
