Unfortunately, yes. He was met with much hatred when he first started playing with the Dodgers and also when he played his one minor league season in Montreal before coming up to the Dodgers. Jackie Robinson's makeup was one of the main reason's Branch Rickey selected him to be the player to break the color barrier. Robinson was very strong emotionally and agreed not to fight back against the hatred. The hatred shown Robinson during his first year with the Dodgers made them a very strong and bonded team. In the 31 seasons prior to Robinson, Brooklyn had made the World Series three times. In the 10 seasons that Robinson played in Brooklyn, they made the World Series five times.
