Why did Branch Rickey, president of the Dodgers, most likely choose to sign Jackie Robinson? Give at least two details from the text to support your answer.

Branch Rickey most likely chose to sign Jackie Robinson because Robinson was younger while Satchel Paige was already aging.

Rickey believed in the 26-year-old Robinson because besides being young, he was also an army veteran who could "bear the ruthless scrutiny of being first" (as mentioned in the text).

Besides this, it was easy for Robinson to abide by the rules. He had the "table manners that whites liked" (as mentioned in the text). This was something that Paige was lacking.

Explanation:
