If you really know the story about Jackie Robinson you also know Pee Wee Reese (white short stop, captain of the Dodgers), two moments in particular stand out between Reese and Robinson.

The first of the two incidents occurred at the beginning of spring training in 1947, when Robinson had been called up to the Dodgers from Montreal, Brooklyn's minor league team. A petition was drawn up by a group of mostly Southern Dodgers players that stated they would not take the field with a black man.
