One obstacle I faced was when I was still young my older brother, Frank, passed away in a car accident. Frank was driving his motorcycle and crashed into a car traveling the opposite direction, and got flung off so hard that he dented a parked car.Another trial I faced was not having a father. Jerry Robinson, my father, left me when I was just a baby. My father said he was going to visit some relatives and wanted to bring Willa Mae with him, but my mother refused to let my sister go and my father never came back. One thing that changed my life was meeting Branch Rickey. Branch Rickey was the man who made the Noble Experiment and hired me to the Brooklyn Dodgers. Branch Rickey felt like a second father to me.
