Winning his directors' approval was almost insignificant
in contrast to the task which now lay ahead of the Dodger
president. He made certain that word of his plans did not
leak out, particularly to the press. Next, he had to find the
ideal player for his project, which came to be called
"Rickey's noble experiment." This player had to be one
who could take abuse, name-calling, rejection by fans and
sportswriters and by fellow players not only on opposing
teams but on his own. He had to be able to stand up in
the face of merciless persecution and not retaliate.
