"Ben Chapman's attempt to make his taunts seem like another gesture of equality accorded (Jackie) Robinson sounded puny and ridiculous in the din that had been hear from the Philadelphia dugout.

'He solidified and unified thirty men, not one of whom was willing to sit by and see someone kick around a man who had his hands tied behind his back." - Author Scott Simon in Jackie Robinson and the Integration of Baseball (Wiley Publishing, 03/23/2007, Page 121)
