In 1946 Jackie Robinson played baseball with the Montreal Monarchs.
Rachel Robinson got a list of apartments for rent near the baseball park.
She stopped at the first one on list the list.
She was invited in for tea and over an hour later signed a lease.

When she was pregnant the neighbour's children would ran after her and carry her groceries. (Rachel would leave fruit outside their door for them.)

Jackie was frequently chased by mobs of excited white Montrealers because they loved him and wanted to be near him.

In 1947, when they flew out of Montreal for New York, Jackie decided that if baseball thing did not work out he would move back to paradise.
