After Robinson played for the Monarchs he played for the Montreal Royals. He played in the spring of 1946. Jackie got paid six hundred dollars a month. And because he was so good he got three thousand five hundred dollars as a bonus. ($3500) The next year Jackie played #42 on the Dodgers. One of Jackies Coaches told him not to be rude and to sorta be a quite guy. The coach wanted to let everyone know that Jackie was a good player as well as  a good person. It wasn't to hard with Jackie being such a great player for the team, that people forgot about their racism and root for Jackie.
