signed Jackie Robinson (fist black baseball player in the MLB)
No. Branch Rickey was the General Manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, and the man that signed Robinson to his professional contract. As a general rule, the GM does not coach.
Because, black or white, Jackie Robinson was one of the best second basemen in the history of the game. I am sure Mr. Rickey signed Robinson because he was talented, not because of the color of his skin.
He was selected off of a list by Branch RickeyInterviewed by Branch RickeyOn April 15,1945; signed a contract with Branch Rickey officially making him a MLB player. (The first black one too)I hope that helps! :)
Branch Rickey was the general manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers. His main goal was to make baseball a national pastime for all Americans.
