Tension on the Mound: A Crucial Game
Barber:
Fritz Ostermueller on the mound. He's 12-8 on the season. A big game today in Pittsburgh. A win and the Dodgers will have clinched the National League pennant... ...Yankees having already clinched in the American League. There's bad blood here... ...as Ostermueller beaned Robinson in the head earlier in the season... ...prompting quite a rhubarb at the time. Teams have gone their separate ways since... ...with Ostermueller left standingin the Dodgers way... ...as they chase the pennant that eluded them last year. Here comes the pitch. And Robinson takes outside. Ball one.
Pittsburgh player:
Come on, Fritz, let's get this boy!
Fritz Ostemueller: [To Robinson]
You don't belong here. And you never will.
Barber:
Robinson crowding the plate. Jack hasn't backed down to a pitcher all season.
Man:
There you go, Jackie!
Dodgers player:
You got nothing for him, Ostermueller! But he's got something for you!
Barber: [OSTERMUELLER GRUNTS]
Ostermueller winds and throws. Low and away, ball two. Fritz seems to be pitching around Jackie... ...or as they say in the trade, trying to get him to chase. Robinson's having a fine rookie standard... ...batting .301 with 31 doubles and 10 home runs. He has stolen 27 bases this season and has yet to be thrown out attempting. Needless to say, Ostermueller being careful with him. (OVER RADIO) It's 3-0 now. Robinson patient, waiting for something he can swing on.
Jackie Robinson:
Give me something. Give me something I can hit.
Fritz Ostemueller:
You want it?
Jackie Robinson:
What are you afraid of?
Barber:
Ostermueller looking in for the sign.
Fritz Ostemueller:
Be careful what you ask for, boy.
Barber: [CROWD CHEERING]
And here comes the pitch. Oh, and that's a deep fly ball to left. Kiner on his horse, I don't think he'll get there. Back, back, back, and... Oh, ho, ho, doctor! Robinson got his pitch! It's a home run. (CHEERING) And barring a miracle comeback... ...the Dodgers are going to the World Series! (ALL CHEERING) He did it, he did it! (CROWD CHEERING) Jack in his home run trot now, and the home crowd here at Forbes... ..recognizing something special when they see it. All the same, I can practically hear the roar...from the heart of Flatbush back in Brooklyn.
Wendell Smith: [On his typewriter]
Robinson rounds third... .headed for home, sweet home.

Unexpected Encounters in the City
Jackie Robinson:
Taxi!
Wendell Smith:
Hey, Jack.
Jackie Robinson:
You again.
Wendell Smith:
That's right. Me again. There something wrong with that, Jack?
Jackie Robinson:
Where's the car?
Wendell Smith: [During the drive; Robinson remains silent]
Right this way. They can't keep you in Montreal for long. After these exhibition games, they're gonna have to bring you up. You don't have two words to rub together, do you?
Wendell Smith:
You ever wonder why I sit down behind third base, with my typewriter on my knees? Does that ever cross your mind? It's because Negro reporters aren't allowed in the press box. So guess what? You, Mr. Robinson, are not the only one with something at stake here.
Jackie Robinson:
I apologize. You've been there for me through this... ...more than anyone besides Rae and Mr. Rickey. But I guess that's what bothers me.
Wendell Smith:
How do you mean?
Jackie Robinson:
I don't like needing someone to be there for me. I don't like needing anyone for anything. I never have.
Wendell Smith: [Robinson signals for him to drive; both chuckle]
You a hard case, Jack Robinson. Hey. Is it okay if I keep driving you, or should I let you get out so you can walk? Hmm?
