Ha!!,gymnastics is one of the
most difficult disciplines,much
work for scant reward,
much respect.
That movie "42",is more a
social justice movie,sport is
the vehicle.

Rickey was instrumental in
getting Jackie Robinson(the
first coloured player),into the
Major League of baseball in
1947.There is a great movie
about it from (2013), 42,
Harrison Ford plays Rickey.

It's basically saying all this hard
work & graft i have put in,are
for nought,I just got lucky.

I am not sure Rickey being a
baseball,was too aware of
Pasteur,yet,I may be selling
him short,because the quote
seems well rounded.

Good.
If you are saying Rickey
plagiarised the quote,that is
one thing,but i can most
assuredly tell you the quote
I put up was by Rickey.

Branch Rickey said this in 1946
in a publication called ,
"The Sporting News"
He was a baseball player,
manager & executive.
