I was born on Jan, 31st 1919 in Cairo,Georgia. My dad left my family when I was 1 and I haven't seen him sense.
My family moved to California when I was three. And when I got there I knew I wanted to be a baseball player, And a Football player.
I was and am a super hard worker because everyone put me down even my teammates and the fans. I was kind because whenever somebody didn't cheer me on or boo me that were on my team or the fans I never did anything back at them.
I was in the MLB and all of my fans booed me and all the players wanted me to play the hardest positions.
One of my challenges was nobody liked me and didn't want to play with me and I had to play every single millisecond of the game each time.
I went to UCLA and I was the best quarterback at the university and we went undefeated. In collage I won the broad jump. And we also won the NCAA playoffs. Mr. Rickey came up to me and said I could play for the Brooklyn Dodgers.
One of my famous quotes was when Mr. Rickey from the Brooklyn Dodgers came up to me and I said, "Mr. Rickey are you looking for a negro who is afraid to fight back."
