Read this excerpt from I Never Had It Made. Here we go again, I thought. Another time-wasting experience. But Sukeforth looked l
ike a sincere person, and I thought I might as well listen. I agreed to meet him that night. When we met, Sukeforth got right to the point. Mr. Rickey wanted to talk to me about the possibility of becoming a Brown Dodger. If I could get a few days off and go to Brooklyn, my fare and expenses would be paid. At first I said that I couldn't leave my team and go to Brooklyn just like that. Sukeforth wouldn't take no for an answer. He pointed out that I couldn't play for a few days anyhow because of my bum arm. Why should my team object? I continued to hold out and demanded to know what would happen if the Monarchs fired me. The Dodger scout replied quietly that he didn't believe that would happen. I shrugged and said I'd make the trip. I figured I had nothing to lose. Which statement best summarizes this excerpt? Although Robinson is skeptical, Sukeforth convinces him to travel to Brooklyn to meet Rickey. Although Robinson is injured, Sukeforth convinces him he should play for the Dodgers. After Robinson hurts his arm, he takes a trip to Brooklyn to explain his injuries to Rickey. After Robinson meets Sukeforth, he expresses concerns about his job security with the Monarchs.
