"How dare he?"cried the enraged Dodger Fans.

       In the 1940s the Brooklyn Dodgers signed Jackie Robinson.  The fans were outraged.  How dare Jackie Robinson join the Major League.  He already had a league to play baseball -the Negro League.  Never before had the races played together.  It was unheard of.  During this time in America, African Americans were separated from non-African Americans.  This practice was know as segregation.
