I lived in Kansas City in the 1970s. I was privileged to know Satchell Paige. He was a friend of one of my neighbours. We used to sit on the neighbour's porch drinking sweet tea. He was an interesting character.
I think you missed something, that Robinson played in Montréal for a bit where he was warmly welcome. His wife said her time in Montréal was almost paradise like. I think it's important to show how racist was the US even for it's time.
@@MrTaxiRob Honestly? I can't imagine non-holodeck bats surviving a Vulcan's proper swing. Though they probably do have a certain amount of strength control.
Excellent video, though 238 "pitches" should be 238 home runs for Gibson. Would also have been fun to talk about Paige's massive repertoire of pitches, and Gibson's supposed feat of hitting a ball out of Yankee Stadium (while likely not true, serves as a testament to the kind of power he had).
I think we only half-remember how nuts Jackie Robinson was as an athlete. He was an All American at UCLA in football, basketball, and track. Statistically, baseball was his worst sport in college and he has one of the highest WAR to this day. I think you can reasonably claim that he is not only one of baseball's all time top 50, but also one of the greatest athletes who ever lived
Despite some controversial takes in the past, EC has consistently made educating and interesting videos such as this. The few bad just has to be taken with the many, many good.
1% chance they found some kind of legitimate issue with the video, 99% chance they're really really butthurt about a spotlight being shone on how obscenely fucking racist the US has been for virtually its entire history.
I read when Jackie Robinson played for the Montreal Royals he didn’t get anywhere near the gate he got in the south. I also heard he had fond memories of the city.
As someone from Kansas City, I thank you for bringing some spotlight to the Negro League, and recommend everyone to visite theNegro League Museum in KC.
My grandfather was a friend of Branch Rickey because he had nursed Rickey through the flu on the troopship after WWI. Granddad was one of the people RIckey consulted when he was thinking about hiring Robinson.
I have to admit, I have a deep love for baseball, but I do also prefer when it’s the minors, because that’s where you see the way they are and how good they will be, and though Jackie Robinson was an unknown he remains to this day as one of the 10 greatest baseball players
Enjoyed the video but you left out one key individual in the integration of baseball. The Major League’s Second Commissioner, A.B. “Happy”Chandler. He became Commissioner after Kennesaw Mountain Landis’s death in 1945. It was under Chandler’s leadership, which was only for one term by the way, which allowed Branch Rickey to sign Jackie Robinson to the Dodgers. Chandler’s efforts to integrate baseball eventually earned him a place in the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY. Please do what you can to correct this oversight.
Thank you so much for this video, especially beginning with some of my hometown's own history in this subject. Just a heads up, after 1911, Pittsburgh PA was officially spelled with an H at the end. It's actually an interesting story on its own. For two decades, the city government refused to acknowledge the federal government's respelling of the city name.
@@Easy-Eight last time I checked, history and sociology were also important parts of a well-rounded education. Because let's be fucking real, what the right calls "critical race theory" (which isn't actually what that term refers to, to be clear) is anything that doesn't paint America as a magical place where racism never existed.
Nothing about Jackie Robinson's 1946 season in Montreal, the Canadian city that was an oasis for Robinson where he was the summer hero in a year when the pressure on the road nearly drove him into a nervous breakdown?
John McGraw, Hall of Fame manager for first the Orioles and then the Giants hated the segregation of baseball. In 1901, while managing the Orioles, he tried to sneak a black player named Grant onto his roster by claiming that he was a Native American. The owner of the White Sox recognized Grant and called McGraw out. McGraw managed the New York Giants for 30 years and retired in 1932, 14 years before MLB was finally integrated. After he passed, his widow found papers with scouting reports and “wishlists” of Negro League players McGraw wanted to sign to his team.
According to the Canadian Encyclopedia website, Jackie Robinson played only a month in Florida and it was a nightmare. Then, he played a year for the Royals in Montreal where he was loved. The Royals won the series that year and Jackie may have been the best player. I am not sure why you did not mention the contrast between Florida and Montreal.
At 4:27 the video states “Josh Gibson officially hit 238 pitches”, which doesn’t really make sense. Did you mean to say “Home Runs” instead of pitches?
Jackie will past away in 1972 and still today all teams and he played for the Padres and the Dodgers but we still know him as the greatest player in the mlb who broke the barrier
Please talk about Louis Francis Sockalexis the Native American baseball player from Cleveland, he was in the major leagues before even Jackie Robinson . He is why the Cleveland Indians name exists
@Extra Credits 0:31 The Grey's tying run is coming to bat in that situation, not the winning run. Other than that, the video is an informative one about the history of black baseball.
And now for the 2024 season, the MLB made a big thing about how cool it was that they finally integrated baseball statistics by merging the negro league’s statistics into their own historical stats. It’s pretty shameful that it took this long imo

Chadwick Boseman’s performance as Jackie Robinson was unforgettable.
Probably a minority opinion, but I think I'll remember him more for _that_ role than any other.

It’s sad that integration into the MLB in turn destroyed the Negro League.
Sad and ironic
Unless the MLB integrated into the Negro League.
Quite hard for a National Sport to have 2 separate leagues. Unless they changed the system into a promotion/relegated one like in Europe.
Edit: If follow Europe, then people might complain why the Negro League is under the MLB. So more issues will arise
But as Buck o Neil said “but who cared?”
I wish they combined the league instead of just integrating the league

I lived in Kansas City in the 1970s. I was privileged to know Satchell Paige. He was a friend of one of my neighbours. We used to sit on the neighbour's porch drinking sweet tea. He was an interesting character.
Baseball is about as interesting as watching paint dry but I find the historical aspect of integration to be fascinating.
I'm sorry you don't meet the Prerequisite for the "Thinking Man's Game" feat of INT 13.

Jackie Robinson spent more time with the Montreal royals than in florida before moving up to the mlb

I wasn’t expecting a video today (extra history is usually a different day) but I’m not complaining.
Man these videos are great.
I like the new art style. (Well, I say new, it has been like this for a little while).

@@spritemon98 I think so.
@@jamier65551 Me too, but I also like this one.
The CGI human and cat near the end were completely unrealistic, though.
Them choosing Jackie Robinson kind of reminds me of how Captain America was picked out. It’s about your character, you have to be the better person.
interesting, considering Falcon and Wimter Soldier
Those guys were all good people. Jackie was just the most likely to bite his tongue.
This could be the beginning of a new series here: Extra Sports. Hit me up, I’d be cool with that.
Would actually love that, sports history videos would REALLY benefit from the drawings in this chibi style.
