Question

What occupation did Jackie Robinson have immediately prior to signing with the Dodgers? He was a private in the Army. He worked for a supermarket. He played baseball in the NL. He coached basketball.

Answer 1

Answer:

Played baseball in the NL

Explanation:

After his discharge from the Army in 1944, Robinson began to play baseball professionally. At the time, the sport was segregated, and African Americans and white people played in separate leagues.

Robinson began playing in the Negro Leagues, but he was soon chosen by Branch Rickey, president of the Brooklyn Dodgers, to help integrate Major League Baseball.
