Though an infuriated Rickey managed to get him into the hotel for the night, he never forgot the incident and later said, "I may not be able to do something about racism in every field, but I can sure do something about it in baseball." The business element was based on the fact that the <a href="/wiki/Negro_leagues" class="mw-redirect" title="Negro leagues">Negro leagues</a> had numerous star athletes, and logically, the first Major League team to hire them would get the first pick of the players at an attractive price.
