Confrontation Over Integration in Baseball Team
Leo Durocher
Wake up, now ladies! Wake up! It has come to my attention that some of you fellas don't wanna play with Robinson. That you've even got a petition you've drawn up and you're all going to sign. Well boys you know what you can do with your petition you can wipe your asses with it.

Dixie Walker
Oh come on, Leo...
Leo Durocher
Come on what?

Dixie Walker
Ballplayers gotta live together, shower together. It ain't fair to force him on us like this. Besides I got a hardware store back home-
Leo Durocher
Screw your hardware store, Dix. And if you don't like it, screw you. Mr. Rickey would be happy to make other arrangements for you. Now, I don't care if he is yellow or black or has stripes like a zebra. If Robinson can help us win, and everything I have seen says he can, then he is gonna play ON THIS BALL CLUB. LIKE IT, LUMP IT, MAKE YOUR MINDS UP TO IT, BECAUSE HE'S COMING! And think about this when your heads hit the pillows tonight: He's only the first, boys. Only the first. There are more coming right behind him every day and they have got talent, and they wanna play. Oh yeah, they are gonna come scratching and diving. So, I would forget your petition and worry about the field because unless you fellas pay a little more attention to your work, THEY'RE GONNA RUN YOU RIGHT OUT OF THE BALLPARK!
[To Walker; To the players; softly]
