The Philadelphia Phillies -- and their manager Ben Chapman -- were notorious for relentless heckling of Robinson in his early days in Major League Baseball. Reportedly, at one game at Shibe Park in Philadelphia, a black cat was let loose onto the field. The heckling only made Robinson more determined to succeed, and he continued to excel in the majors.
