After becoming a second lieutenant, Robinson became engaged to his longtime girlfriend. Her name was Rachel Isum. He had attended UCLA and had followed Robinson's career at UCLA and Pasadena Junior College (11 Things, 2012). Robinson was then sent to Fort Hood, Texas. In 1944, he was on a non-segregated bus route commissioned by the Army, and the bus driver ordered Robinson to move to the back of the bus. Robinson refused but once the bus reached the terminus, the driver called military police to take him into custody. Robinson confronted his duty officer about racist comments and questions made by the officer who took him into custody. The officer had requested that he be court-martialed but Robinson's commander refused. The best in the Negro Leagues were Josh Gibson and Satchel Paige. Satchel Paige was a well-known ace pitcher. Satchel Paige is believed to hold the record for most strikeouts in the Negro Leagues and the record for strikeouts in a single game. Paige played many games in which reporters documented more than 15 strikeouts (Baseball Reference, 2010). The other great talent was Josh Gibson. The 6-foot-1-inch catcher is believed to be one of the greatest hitters of all time. Some fans who saw both Babe Ruth and Josh Gibson play have called Ruth the white Gibson (Koppett, 1998). Josh Gibson has never played in the Major Leagues. Since (like Paige's statistics) nothing was ever documented, Gibson's homerun totals were never tallied. He is believed to have hit over 1,000 homeruns in his career and even hit a few homeruns from 600 feet outside Yankee Stadium (Baseball Reference, 2010). After a year in the minor leagues, Jackie was called up to the big leagues. Jackie was the MVP of the international championship but it didn't go without a lot of controversy. The team faced all sorts of racial abuse and so did Jackie, but he persevered and hit .349 for the team. In 1947 he was called up to arms (Koppett, 1998). This effectively broke the Major League color
