After joining the Brooklyn Dodgers, Rickey became the first executive to challenge baseball’s color line when he signed Jackie Robinson, who would become the major leagues’ first African-American player in the 20th century in 1947. When Robinson asked Rickey if he was looking for a Negro who was afraid to fight back, Rickey replied, “No. I’m looking for a ballplayer with the guts enough not to.”
