EXCELLENCE

Staying positive, never giving up, and doing your best.

The video reminds us that in all his efforts, Jackie Robinson felt that although he was the first to cross the color line in the game of baseball, it would not become totally significant until the doors opened for others.

 

In time, through excellence, both on and off the field, Robinson paved the way for African Americans and minorities in baseball.

 

50 years after Robinson broke the color barrier, Major League Baseball honored his efforts retiring the number 42.

VALUE QUOTES

“Excellence is to do a common thing in an uncommon way.”

Baker Portrait

“I was raised to believe that excellence is the best deterrent to racism or sexism. And that's how I operate my life.” 

Booker T. Washington’s quote points out that although Robinson sought out to just play baseball, he did an uncommon thing, made an impact and changed the world.

 

Oprah Winfrey’s quote stating, “…that excellence can be a deterrent to racism and sexism”, is evident as Robinson played with excellence, earning the respect of his teammates and racist fans alike. In addition, through excellence off the field, Robinson helped support various causes that had an impact making America a better, stronger, and richer country.
