However, Jackie was the pioneer for only one of the sixteen teams in Major League Baseball at the time. What about the "other fifteen" pioneers? These are their accounts. While they faced many of the same hurdles and roadblocks as Jackie, each had individual twists and turns in his journey pioneering great change in race relations in baseball and American society. Mr. Robinson took the field for the Brooklyn Dodgers in April of 1947, but it wasn't until twelve years later that the last team added a person of color (Pumpsie Green, in 1959, for the Boston Red Sox)"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a African American baseball players $v Biography. 650 0 $a Discrimination in sports $z United States. 650 7 $a African American baseball players. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799042 650 7 $a Discrimination in sports. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00895130 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 776 08 $i Online version: $a Copeland, Jeffrey S.
