Jim Crow was king... and I heard a game in which Jackie Robinson was playing, and I felt pride in being alive.

Jackie Robinson is a true legend.

When I went to Brooklyn in 1948 Jackie Robinson was at the height of his brilliant career.

To be compared to Jackie Robinson is an enormous compliment, but I don't think it's necessarily deserved.

We have defeated Jim Crow, but now we have to deal with his son, James Crow Jr., esquire.

Every year we discuss Jackie Robinson Day, which is April 15. We talk about it throughout baseball, promote it throughout baseball.
