14 Chapter 13 Glory Years

Chapter 13 Glory Years Jackie played for the Dodgers for ten years. During those years, he and Rachel had two more children, Sharon and David. They moved from

杰基为道奇队打了十年球。 在那些年里，他和拉结又生了两个孩子，沙伦和大卫。 他们从

Brooklyn to a house in Queens, and then to a bigger house in Connecticut. Jackie wrote two books about his life. He starred in a movie, The Jackie Robinson Story. With Jackie, the Dodgers won six National League pennants. Time and again they went up against the Yankees in famous "Subway Series." Time and again, they lost. The year 1949 was Jackie's greatest season. He was named Most Valuable Player and led the National League in hitting and stolen bases. A year later, Branch Rickey left the Dodgers. It was a blow to Jackie, who thought of Rickey almost as a father. Times were changing. Slowly, more black players were being signed to major league teams. Don Newcombe and Roy Campanella both joined the Dodgers. They became All-Stars, too. The Cleveland Indians and the St. Louis Browns both signed black players soon after Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier.

从布鲁克林搬到皇后区的一所房子，然后搬到康涅狄格州一所更大的房子。 杰基写了两本关于他生活的书。 他主演了一部电影《杰基·罗宾逊的故事》。 在杰基的带领下，道奇队赢得了六次全国联盟冠军。 在著名的“地铁系列赛”中，他们一次又一次地与洋基队交锋。 他们一次又一次地失败。 1949年是成龙最辉煌的一年。 他被评为最有价值球员，并在全国联盟的安打和盗垒榜上名列前茅。 一年后，布兰奇·里奇离开了道奇队。 这对杰基来说是一个打击，他几乎把里奇当成了父亲。 时代在变化。慢慢地，越来越多的黑人球员与大联盟球队签约。 唐·纽科姆和罗伊·坎帕内拉都加入了道奇队。 他们也成为了全明星。 克利夫兰印第安人和圣。 在杰基·罗宾逊打破肤色障碍后不久，路易斯·布朗队都签下了黑人球员。

ROY CAMPANELLA CATCHER BROOKLYN DODGERS During those years, the civil rights movement grew stronger. People fought for blacks to be treated fairly. Even though Jackie was the highestpaid Dodgers player of all time, in the South he still couldn't stay in the same hotels as his white teammates. As time went on, Jackie decided that he had kept his promise to Branch Rickey. Now he could speak up off and on the field. Jackie began to shout at umpires. He talked back to rival teams. Some people thought he was too loud. But others defended him. They said Jackie was doing what any player would do. It was just making news because of his color.

在那些年里，民权运动变得更加强大。 人们为黑人得到公平对待而斗争。 尽管杰基是道奇队有史以来收入最高的球员，但在南方，他仍然不能和他的白人队友住在同一家酒店。 随着时间的推移，杰基认为他遵守了对布兰奇·里奇的承诺。 现在他可以在球场内外畅所欲言了。 杰基开始对裁判大喊大叫。 他和对手队顶嘴。 有些人认为他太吵了。 但也有人为他辩护。他们说杰基做了任何球员都会做的事。 这只是因为他的肤色而引起的新闻。

In 1955, Jackie was thirty-six years old. He was turning gray and losing speed. He was playing outfield now. People thought his best days were over. Once again, the Dodgers were facing the Yankees in the World Series. And in the very first game, something amazing happened—Jackie Robinson stole home, right under the glove of catcher Yogi Berra!

1955年，杰基36岁。 他脸色发白，速度也慢了下来。 他现在打外场了。 人们认为他最好的日子已经过去了。 道奇队又一次在世界大赛中面对洋基队。 在第一场比赛中，神奇的事情发生了——杰基·罗宾逊在接球手约吉·贝拉的手套下偷走了本垒打!
