    George Steinbrenner is most famously known as one of the most successful sport owners in American sports history. On July 4th, 1930 Steinbrenner was born in Rocky River, Ohio (Nelson, 2013). His two parents, Henry George Steinbrenner II and Rita raised him in an upper middle class lifestyle in Cleveland. He dedicates most of his success to both of them. At a young age, George had to learn that his father refused to allow him to accept failure, and he was pushed to succeed in all aspects of life. George attended Culver Military Academy in Indiana, graduating in 1948. He was later awarded a Bachelor’s degree from Williams College in Massachusetts in 1952, where he was an average student, who was a hurdler like his father on the track-and-field team, halfback on the football team, and sports editor of the student newspaper (Nelson, 2013). From this, it is quickly seen that George possessed a strong work ethic and was willing to go the extra mile to succeed. Although George was an average student he was quite active when it came to his extra-curricular life.…

    42 Movie Summary

    Jackie Robinson, 42, first black man to play on a team of all whites and make it to the world championship. He rocks. His number is retired and people wear the number 42 on their jersey every year for one day because of him. All of this information I got from the movie 42. The movie was amazing and very good! In the beginning when it showed how he became selected was different than what I imagined it would’ve been done. During the movie there were threats from white people saying they’d come where Robinson lived and hurt him or something, so he left with the black reporter guy who later became a part of the American Baseball Press or whatever it was called. However, Robinson thought that he was leaving cause he got drafted from the team. :P Later on in the movie, because Robinson got accepted to play on a Major League Baseball Team, the Brooklyn Dodgers. However, most members on the team wrote a petition saying that they wouldn't want to play baseball if Robinson joined the team because he was black. Jackie Robinson was not only bullied by the audience, but also by other players of different teams. One of those people were Ben Chapman; he bullied Robinson until he almost lost it, but had a teammate stand up for him, and Chapman ended up having to take a picture with Robinson to show the world he changed whether he did or not. Another person who technically bullied Robinson was the guy who threw the pitch at Robinson’s head. His name I forgot but I remember because of that pitch to the head, both teams broke out in a fight and Robinson was confused on what was going on or so it looked like. Of course though, Robinson got the Dodgers to make it all the way to Championship or World Series, I forget which one it was. I can sort of tell that throughout the movie, there was a lot of things that they most likely left out like how much and/or bad he was threatened and what he went through being the only black man on a white team, etc.…
