He wanted to find a black player who could deal with the insults and racial pressure he would face in the league. He wanted a black player who would show restraint at all times. Rickey thought Jackie Robinson was good enough as a player and strong enough as a person to succeed. He made Robinson promise that he would never show his anger on the baseball field. Jackie Robinson accepted that condition. He said:
"I knew that I was going to be somewhat out front and perhaps, I would have to take a lot of abuse. I knew that this was bigger than any one individual and I would have to do whatever I possibly could to control myself."Jackie 在1945年和道奇队的总经理Branch Rickey签约。Rickey 想找一个能够在联盟中经得起侮辱和敌意的各种压力的黑人。他觉得Jackie足够承受这一切。他要Jackie承诺在棒球的领域里从不显示他的愤怒。Jackie同意了，他说道：”我知道我将要直面一些事情，我将会受到很多责难，我知道那压力不仅仅是一个个个体的叠加而已，所以我不得不去做任何能控制住自己的事情来。“
