Jackie Robinson

This is important because Sam thought he might only get one player to sign the ball, but he got the whole team to sign it. -

The Funeral
Sam doesn't want to go to the funeral, but his mom makes him go anyway. Sam doesn't want to go see the body, but when he does he said that it wasn't really Davy's body because it looked like a wax dummy. This is important because Sam is forced to do things that he doesn't want to. -
Jackie Saves the Day
