]]> 2017-03-22 00:49:21 UTC https://padlet.com/amlimawhitne1/w9qhra2oxqfa/wish/161686963 While baseball is technically a integrated sport, it may not yet be a "team" sport. https://padlet.com/amlimawhitne1/w9qhra2oxqfa/wish/161792674 2017-03-22 12:54:12 UTC https://padlet.com/amlimawhitne1/w9qhra2oxqfa/wish/161792674 I think the players are posing for a picture before a game. I think this because the people in the background are still standing/finding their seats, and the players look relaxed and inattentive to the field, which could indicate that the game hasn't started yet. https://padlet.com/amlimawhitne1/w9qhra2oxqfa/wish/161908912 2017-03-22 17:33:42 UTC https://padlet.com/amlimawhitne1/w9qhra2oxqfa/wish/161908912 This is in the 1940's when Jackie Robinson first started playing for the Dodgers. All of the players are smiling which shows that they are getting along. I am not sure the man next to him is fully happy to have him there, but he is showing a good face. I think this is before the game. The people in the background are all dressed up, as they would be then, and the players seem relaxed before their win. I think in a way they must have been nervous with the first black player. https://padlet.com/amlimawhitne1/w9qhra2oxqfa/wish/161917628 2017-03-22 17:54:46 UTC https://padlet.com/amlimawhitne1/w9qhra2oxqfa/wish/161917628 I think this is one of many pictures taken of Jackie Robinson and his teammates on Robinson's first day with the Dodgers because I have seen other similar pictures. I am really intrigued by the body language of the four players. It made me wonder how these four men are feeling. I notice there are several people in the background looking down at them and speculate they are discussing this new addition to the playing field. https://padlet.com/amlimawhitne1/w9qhra2oxqfa/wish/161942881 2017-03-22 19:01:58 UTC https://padlet.com/amlimawhitne1/w9qhra2oxqfa/wish/161942881 https://padlet.com/amlimawhitne1/w9qhra2oxqfa/wish/161948233 I can only see two women in the crowd. Perhaps up to this point baseball was viewed mainly by men. ]]> 2017-03-22 19:19:46 UTC https://padlet.com/amlimawhitne1/w9qhra2oxqfa/wish/161948233 This is the first day of Jackie Robinson's career in an integrated MLB. His teammates look like they are opposed to him joining the Dodgers because they don't have their arm around him. smhannon2 https://padlet.com/amlimawhitne1/w9qhra2oxqfa/wish/162091827 2017-03-23 12:12:48 UTC https://padlet.com/amlimawhitne1/w9qhra2oxqfa/wish/162091827 https://padlet.com/amlimawhitne1/w9qhra2oxqfa/wish/162169816 I just saw the movie about Jackie Robinson joining the MLB. He looks apart from the rest of the guys on the bench...like it's a trio + 1.

The comfort level of both Jackie and the white players does not appear to exist. https://padlet.com/amlimawhitne1/w9qhra2oxqfa/wish/162170349 2017-03-23 15:31:22 UTC https://padlet.com/amlimawhitne1/w9qhra2oxqfa/wish/162170349 Jackie on the outskirts https://padlet.com/amlimawhitne1/w9qhra2oxqfa/wish/162171393 Same team but the white players are comfortable with each other while their black teammate is not a part of their group. Proximity of the players and their body language lends me to this inference. When I look behind the players, I see an all white crowd of standing people talking with each other - not watching a game.]]> 2017-03-23 15:33:43 UTC https://padlet.com/amlimawhitne1/w9qhra2oxqfa/wish/162171393 I see Jackie Robinson with his teammates. Interesting how he is separated (segrated) from his white teammates. cgpatsfan https://padlet.com/amlimawhitne1/w9qhra2oxqfa/wish/162201376 2017-03-23 16:46:38 UTC https://padlet.com/amlimawhitne1/w9qhra2oxqfa/wish/162201376 I see four Dodger players and Jackie Robinson. The jerseys have the design of the Dodgers. However, the people don't really look like a fully functioning team. The three people on the left hand side are sitting much closer together while Jackie Robinson seems a bit off to the side.

Their bodies are turned away from him. https://padlet.com/amlimawhitne1/w9qhra2oxqfa/wish/162201683 2017-03-23 16:47:25 UTC https://padlet.com/amlimawhitne1/w9qhra2oxqfa/wish/162201683 Jackie Robinson is not included in the group. https://padlet.com/amlimawhitne1/w9qhra2oxqfa/wish/162202115 2017-03-23 16:48:30 UTC https://padlet.com/amlimawhitne1/w9qhra2oxqfa/wish/162202115 baseball djmetzler1 https://padlet.com/amlimawhitne1/w9qhra2oxqfa/wish/162206296 makes America happy]]> 2017-03-23 16:59:49 UTC https://padlet.com/amlimawhitne1/w9qhra2oxqfa/wish/162206296 Jackie Robinson's body language is in a protective stance - wrapping his arms around himself. https://padlet.com/amlimawhitne1/w9qhra2oxqfa/wish/162214146 2017-03-23 17:22:05 UTC https://padlet.com/amlimawhitne1/w9qhra2oxqfa/wish/162214146
