Because you know – yes, you would know, Robinson, that a baseball box score is a democratic thing. It doesn't tell how big you are, what church you attend, what color you are, or how your father voted in the last election.

But let me tell you, it's going to take an awful lot of courage.” —I Never Had It Made, Jackie Robinson, as told to Alfred Duckett Based on the passage, write one or two sentences explaining Jackie Robinson’s main purpose for writing I Never Had It Made.
