1 tsp. of risk taking
1 tbsp. of temper
1 tbsp. of regimented focus
1 grain of intellect
pinch of nervous angst
a degree of eloquence
1 bowl of thick skin
2 cups of persistence
1 cup of energy
1/2 cup of heart
an integrated college education
a complex military background
Take all the ingredients and change the face of baseball forever. Place the Negro style of play into the Major Leagues. Help America accept Blacks as Citizens. In the meantime, use these ingredients to steal 29 bases, score 125 times, and hit 12 home runs. Bring home the Pennant to Brooklyn. Win the award: "Rookie of the Year". You were the right man at the right time. You had all the ingredients to make the best pie. Now we sample from the same ingredients to look into the eyes of another great man: President Obama. We wonder what his legacy will cook up.
