     As a little kid, Jackie grew up in a small town in 

Cairo, Georgia. After spending a year here; Jackie 

and his family hopped on a train and headed to Los 

Angeles.

     When Jackie moved he didn't really fit into 

any group of friends. He started hanging out 

with gangs and doing the wrong things. He 

didn't care, just as long as he had friends.

     Soon he found out that sports were 

something he was good at. Jackie was so good 

at football. Little did he know things were 

going to change for the better. 

"I think I want to play baseball," Jackie said 

one day. He found out that he was really good. 

He was chosen as the most valuable junior 

college player. 

     His dad gets in a terrible accident and 

passes away from his injuries. Since Jackie 

spent most of his time with his dad, he decides 

to put his energy towards school.

     Jackie starts to get tired of school and he 

drops out. He thinks by joining the army he 

will forget about all his problems. So that's 

what he does. 

     One day a man came up to Robinson and 

asked if he wanted to play on his baseball 

team. Jackie took up that offer and was soon 

on his way to success. 

     Jackie was soon hired to play shortstop. He 

played for a team called the Kansas City 

Monarchs for the Negro League. Jackie loved 

his team and was starting his career out good.
