Answer 2

B. The way Satchel Paige felt about not being the first black baseball player in the Major Leagues.

Step-by-step explanation:

Back when segregation was still a lot more common and accepted, Jackie Robinson made history by becoming the first black baseball player in the Major Leagues. Although this was a huge accomplishment, not all people believed Robinson deserved it. Satchel was a black pitcher, but he believed that he should have become the first black baseball player in the Major Leagues. He justified this by saying that he was a better player, and that he had already proven himself by his performance against white players.
