The Dodgers signed Jackie Robinson to a contract after the 1945 season when he hit .387 for the Kansas City Monarchs of the Negro League. Robinson spent one season in AAA ball playing for Montreal and then the Dodgers purchased his contract on April 10, 1947 and brought him up to the major leagues. Robinson's first game in MLB for the Dodgers was April 15, 1947 against the Boston Braves.
Branch Rickey, president of the Brooklyn Dodgers, most likely chose to sign Jackie Robinson to break the color barrier in Major League Baseball and promote racial integration in the sport. He recognized Robinson's exceptional talent, competitive spirit, and ability to handle the intense scrutiny and pressure that would come with being the first Black player in the league. By signing Robinson, Rickey aimed to both enhance the Dodgers' performance and make a significant social statement during a pivotal time in American history.
He suffered bad treatment but led the way for others.
