they focused even more on entertaining fans even earlier than major league baseball did. one of the fun ones as a game called shadow ball, this i would classify as a ballyhoo, i think the negro leagues perfected it, shadow ball was an activity that many players would engage in prior to the game where they would essentially pantomime playing a baseball game. there would be no ball that they would pretend like there was one. make great throws to each other, daring catches, all of this as a joke but a way to entertain the crowd. some have said it is kind of a metaphor for what was happening with negro leagues, they were not really allowed the inclusion and respect that they deserved. even given their very high level of play. they also adopted a all-star game patterned after the major league baseball our star game for similar reasons, to raise funds to support players who need it, especially retired players. now, other innovations during the depression era, and there are many, i think you might be a little bit surprised about how much this sport changes during the great depres

each week and provided scores for every baseball game played in the major-league, and numerous minor leagues. and hence the bible the baseball think, it provided all of that they think you needed and also printed weekly report on each major-league baseball team and that was usually written by kind of a local reporter that baseball team. so they incorporated this whole nate network of agents and fighters. and really originated, thing to this is still around. i know my husband is it dodgers fan and he still reads the la times every morning to find out what's going on for dodgers. this is really the growth of the sport and a whole another of it, advancing into journalism. so the significance here, and i wanted to to take away from this is that basically journalism in sports were often intertwined and that is no different today. you think of today's relationship between the sports teams and media and broadcasting, lots of money involved read every major-league team is like billions of dollars for the contract with the media companies and key part of the revenue and that originates well ov

diversity is in fact good for business diversity proved to be great for major league baseball. it proved to be great for the national football league and if they would have just seen that then how far would we have been as a nation and we just you know growing up. it's sort of a question. i'm not sure you dealt with but that's what i think of when i think all the brutality all the hatred the closed mind is how far ahead the game of baseball would have been that it just you know cast on his buckets. oh, i mean it goes back to those back to abraham lincoln being shot and being replaced by a southern racist who one did everything that lincoln was trying to do. what if he hasn't been shot. what if we had had we had had integration in 1865 instead of 1954, right? yeah, you ready? and i think that's what we're that's you know, i'm always into how does the past relate to the press? and that's what all this is about what jackie had to do to get us to really recognize our potential as a nation and it's like pulling teeth still. it's still like pulling teeth, you know. well, there was a s

unfortunately, a couple of the executives in major league baseball found out when he tried to do and sold that team out from under him. but there were plenty of people who knew that african american players in the negro leagues were just as good as the white players. back certainly was one of them. let me continue. the colored collegiate was a captain in uncle sam's army, but the rule that applies to discharge servicemen that they can't be sent to a lower classification and that waivers must be asked wouldn't affect robinson. the gi bill of rights operates only in cases where the player left organized ball to enter the service. the dodgers won't lose him, even if he doesn't make good in montreal. although the montreal club has made provisions for the housing of robinson and right around the international league circuit in baltimore, the club for the south, doesn't look for any trouble. of course, it can't guarantee protection from the have them in the bleachers. the majority of the hotels, the colored boys won't even have to be segregated. which of course, is nonsense, there wasn't a

the 75th anniversary of his integration of major league baseball. mentioned that part two focuses on the year 1949. jackie robinson is 30 years old. what i am going to do is pick out two stories from the section because we want people to read your book in the end. before we get to those stories, how has jackie robinson matured by the age of 30 as a player and a person? kostya: wonderful question, susan. his first year with the dodgers was in 1947 and again in 1948. this was part of the story of jackie robinson. he, in talking with the branch rickey, had agreed he was going to turn the other cheek, as it were. even though he faced a lot of racial taunting, even though pitchers would intentionally hit him with pitches. no other player was hit by more pitches than jackie robinson. that is dangerous, he would get hit and he would simply get up and jog to first these. he would not fight back and turned the other cheek. he believed that was a way to temper reaction. to not allow people to make less -- to not allow people, -- to make less room for criticis

and in fact, this year marks the 75th anniversary of jackie robinson breaking major league baseball'she dodgers is celebrating that historic agreement. before making history in his first game as a brooklyn dodger in 1947, robinson was an all star in the negro leagues for the kansas city monarchs. kansas city is now home to the negro league's baseball museum. and a short time ago, the l.a. dodgers visited the museum ahead of tonight's matchup with the kansas city royals, the team reflecting on the sacrifices and the legacy of all those that came before. and among those who had an opportunity to get through it and now talk about his experiences, joining us from kansas city, dodgers manager dave roberts. so good to see you. >> it is so good seeing you, and you couldn't have laid this out any better. this is quite the honor. what a day we've already had. this is the first time the los angeles dodgers have been to kansas city since 2014. and as you mentioned, jackie robinson, 75 years, breaking the color barrier. today, the president of the negro league museum hosted us and there were plen
