To blacks he was a hero. Most whites cheered him on, some booed him mercilessly, some yelled un-printable profanities at him.

Brooklyn fans, who had no trouble identifying with someone being put down for not having the "proper" heritage, had no trouble cheering for him.

Brooklyn manager, Leo Durocher, was quite blunt to any Dodger who did not want to play with him: "I'm the manager of this team, and I say he plays. What's more, I say he can make us all rich. And if any of you cannot use the money, I will see that you are all traded."
