(man) This is the story
of a boy and his dream...
but more than that...
it is the story
of an American boy...
and a dream
that is truly American.
The year... 1928.
The time... spring.
If you were a young man,
your thoughts were undoubtedly
turning to those of love.
But if you were a young boy,
your thoughts
were of one thing...
baseball.
Give me some high ones!
Come on!
Here... right over here!
Give me a fast one!
Crack!
Give me one... come on!
Come on... I'll show you how!
Crack!
Give me a good high one!
Great bunch
of infielders we got.
Yeah, big leaguers.
Phump.
Hit me one, mister?
What do you want?
Grounders, flies, anything.
Watch this.
Crack!
Right here... come on!
How's that for a ballplayer?
Yeah, we ought to give
him another chance.
Hey, kid, you want another?
(kid) Yes, sir.
Here it comes!
Crack!
Hey, kid, come here a minute.
Now, don't tell me
that one didn't sting.
Just a little bit.
Haven't you got a glove?
No, sir.
Come here a minute.
You mean I can borrow this?
No... you can have it.
For keeps?
For keeps!
Yea!!!
(kid) Mom! Mom!
Yes, Jackie?
Look, Mom!
Where'd you get it?
A man gave it to me.
Torn!
You can sew it up.
Oh, Jackie!
Heh-heh-heh
Jackie!
Yes, Mom?
Sew 'em on like that?
No, Mom.
The way you have them now reads.
"Junior Pasadena College."
That way, Mom.
Pasadena Junior College.
Of course.
How'd I get it
mixed up like that?
My, my...
They wouldn't know
who I'd be jumping for
at the track meet.
That what your brother
Mack won a medal for?
That what you're talkin' about?
Won a medal?
When Mack jumped
he broke the National
Junior College record
and nobody has jumped
that far since.
That's nice!
Heh-heh
This kid jumped
25 feet, 6 1/2 inches, Bill.
Broke his brother's record.
Do you think maybe he could, ah,
jump over that
Southern Cal line?
He led the conference in TDs.
Only, there's one problem, Bill.
You mean the Trojans
have already got him?
Heh... no, no.
He's a colored boy.
I heard somebody
squawking about giving
colored boys too many
athletic scholarships.
Colored boys
are all right with me,
if they're the right color.
The right color?
I like a good, clean,
American boy with a B average.
If that's the kind
of a boy you're talking about-
his colors are blue and gold.
UCLA colors, huh?
That's right,
and you can tell it
to Robinson for me.
Fvee-fvee-fvwheet!
Come on, Jackie, come on.
Come on, boy.
Come on, Jackie.
Come on!
You're his brother, aren't you?
That's right.
You're Mack Robinson.
I ran against you
when you were at Oregon.
Oh, sure, you ran
for Southern Cal.
Pete Schubeck... this is my wife.
Hello, Mack.
How do you do?
This is Rae Isum, Jackie's girl.
- Hello.
- Glad to know you.
What are you doing these days?
Oh, I got a good, steady job.
Glad to hear it.
Come on, Jackie.
Tweet-tweet.
Easing up?
Yeah, a lot.
What's the matter
with those guys,
giving it to Jack like that
just because he's...
Because he's the best halfback
on the field.
Oh, yeah... yeah, sure.
And Jackie,
I wasn't kidding
about that either.
They have a lot of respect
for you out there.
I have a lot of respect
for them too.
Believe me.
How's Mack been doing lately?
Mack?
Oh, Mack's doin' fine.
Been waitin' long?
No, just got here.
Somebody told me you got
an honorable mention
on the All-American.
Did I?
Somebody else told me
you cut class this morning.
Could be.
Was it because you
worked late last night?
And I went to see
