Which excerpt from I Never Had It Made best uses descriptive details to paint a picture for readers? In August 1945, at Comiskey
Park in Chicago, I was approached by Clyde Sukeforth, the Dodger scout. He told me that the Brown Dodgers were looking for top ballplayers, that Branch Rickey had heard about me. Mr. Rickey wanted to know all about Rachel. I told him our hopes and plans. "You know you have a girl," he said heartily. "When we get through today, you may want to call her up." Because of his nature and passion for justice, he [Rickey] had to do what he was doing. He continued. His rumbling voice, the theatrical gestures, were gone. He was speaking from a deep, quiet strength. "I think I can play the game, Mr. Rickey," I said. The next few minutes were tough. Branch Rickey had to make absolutely sure that I knew what I would face.
