\"Jackie<\/a>Chet Brewer, de larga trayectoria en casi todo el Caribe, estuvo contratado a principios de los 30’s por un club de Ligas Menores, pero el Comisionado de ese circuito anuló la firma del pitcher negro.<\/p>\n

Jimmy Claxton, otro pitcher, perforó la barrera racial por dos meses con el Oakland Oaks de la Costa del Pacífico en 1918.<\/p>\n

Para integrar al beisbol no solo era un obstáculo el racismo con su Pacto de Caballeros; sino que existía otro de vital importancia: el alquiler de los estadios de las grandes ligas a los clubes de ligas negras cuando aquellos estaban jugando como visitantes.<\/p>\n

Los dueños sabían que la integración produciría un éxodo de estrellas negras hacia el beisbol de los blancos, lo que traería como consecuencia un sensible debilitamiento hasta su desaparición del circuito sepia y, con este, la del fanático de esa pelota, que se trasladaría hacia los terrenos de las Mayores; por lo tanto, los magnates de las Grandes Ligas perderían la fuente de ganancias que generaba la renta de sus instalaciones. Además, el 80 % de los peloteros negros, que eran la cantidad que no podría jugar en el Beisbol Organizado de inmediato, perderían sus ingresos para el sustento.<\/p>\n

Varios dueños de equipos de Grandes Ligas creían que, una parte considerable e importante para el negocio del público blanco, sería renuente a asistir al estadio para disfrutar del experimento. Si bien varios apostaron al triunfo del ensayo, otros lo consideraban como un posible fracaso peligroso si se practicaba.<\/p>\n

Pero el hombre que siempre tuvo confianza en el éxito del pasatiempo integrado fue Branch Rickey, quien entendía a qué se atendría; por lo que fue capaz de hacer el intento en el momento preciso y no cuando lo pretendió el periodista negro Wendell Smith, que le solicitó al presidente Roosevelt un decreto integracionista del beisbol y recibió como respuesta “eso está fuera de lugar ahora…”, o el tan manipulado “políticamente incorrecto”.<\/p>\n

Por su propio carácter, por su personalidad y por sus condiciones humanas, fue que Rickey se lanzó a lo que, en aquel momento, podía ser un vacío de dudas y conclusiones.<\/p>\n

Nadie describió mejor a Branch Rickey en su real capacidad de acción y pensamiento que el notable cronista deportivo del St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Red Smith: “jugador, manager, ejecutivo, abogado, predicador, vendedor de caballos, orador, innovador, esposo, padre, abuelo, campesino, lógico, oscurantista, reformista, financiero, sociólogo, cruzado, padre confesor, amigo y luchador”.<\/p>\n

Así fue Branch Rickey, el hombre que perforó el Muro Racial casi desde que se unió al Brooklin en 1942; porque fue el año que inició la escalada comenzando con la revisión de los peloteros negros disponibles para el gran acontecimiento; el individuo que inventó el sistema de sucursales o fincas que, incluso, pretendió una tercera liga mayor, el hombre capaz de imponerse a cualquier obstáculo para engrandecer el pasatiempo que amó como nadie.<\/p>\n

English Translation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chet Brewer, of long experience in almost all the Caribbean, was hired in the early 30’s by a minor League club, but the Commissioner of the circuit overturned the signing of the black pitcher.<\/p>\n

Jimmy Claxton, another pitcher, drilled the racial barrier for two months with the Oakland Oaks of the Pacific coast in 1918.<\/p>\n

To integrate not only baseball racism as an obstacle with his Knights Covenant but that there was another vital, the rental of the stadiums in the big leagues to Negro Leagues clubs when those were playing as visitors.<\/p>\n

The owners knew that integration would lead to an exodus of black stars towards the white baseball, which would result in a significant weakening until his disappearance of black circuit and with this, the fan of that ball, who moved to the grounds of the elderly.<\/p>\n

Therefore, the magnates of major league baseball would lose the source of profits generated by the rental of its facilities, in addition, 80% of the black dung, which were the quantity which could not play in organized baseball immediately, would lose their income for livelihood.<\/p>\n

Several teams of major league baseball owners believed that a substantial and important part for the business of the white audience, would be reluctant to attend the stadium to enjoy the experiment.<\/p>\n

Even though several chose to the triumph of the trial, others considered him as a possible failure dangerous if practiced.<\/p>\n

But the man who always had confidence in the success of the integrated pastime was Branch Rickey, who understood what was that so it was able to make the attempt at the right time and not when claimed it the black journalist Wendell Smith, asked President Roosevelt an integrationist Decree of baseball and received as a response “that is out of place now…”, or the so manipulated “politically incorrect”.<\/p>\n

By their very nature, his personality and his humane conditions, it was Rickey was launched which, at that time, could be a vacuum of doubts and conclusions.<\/p>\n

No one better described Branch Rickey in their real capacity of action and thought that the remarkable sportswriter for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Red Smith when he wrote “player, manager, executive, lawyer, preacher, seller of horses, speaker, innovator, husband, father, grandfather, peasant, logical, obscurantist, reformer, financial, sociologist, crusader, father confessor, friend and fighter”.<\/p>\n

It was Branch Rickey, the man who drilled the Racial wall almost as he joined the Brooklyn in 1942, because it was the year that started the climb starting with the review of the available for the major event black dung, the individual who invented the system of branches or estates, even tried one third major league, the man capable of forcing any obstacle to enlarge the hobby who loved anyone else.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
