Yadina: Hi there! Welcome to the show.

Today we're meeting someone extra great: Jackie Robinson.

Brad: Jackie was one of the first African Americans

to play in the major leagues.

Xavier: It was a big deal.

Before then, most of the players were white.

Yadina: It was so unfair!

But thanks to Jackie Robinson,

things are a lot different today.

Now let's play ball!

♪ (electronic organ playing) ♪

(cr*ck of the bat) Brad: Woah woah!

Yadina: Here I come.

Woo hooo!

Yadina: What should we do next, Dr. Zoom?

Hmmhmm...Oh the swings?

You know me so well.

Brian: Sorry. Only kids in blue puppy dog coats

can use the swings.

Yadina: Blue puppy dog coats?

Yadina: But.. That's just you!

Why can't everyone use the swings?

Brian: Because those are the rules.

Yadina: Those are your rules and they aren't fair.

Yadina: Oh yeah? Well only kids in red coats

can use the slide!

Yadina: Wait!

Dr. Zoom, this doesn't feel right at all.

Xavier: Gotcha! Yadina: Xavier! Brad!

I need your help!

Xavier: What's wrong?

Yadina: That kid over there is being super unfair.

He won't let anyone else use the swings.

So... I said I was the only one who could use the slide.

Brad: Um, I don't think that's right either, Yadina.

Yadina: I know. But, I was so upset,

I didn't know what else to do...

Brad: Oh boy.

Xavier/Yadina: To the secret museum!

(playful music) ♪♪

Xavier: I wonder who the Secret Museum will send us to meet?

Yadina: And where we'll go?

Brad: And wheeeen!

Xavier: Woohoo. Yadina: Look out below!

Xavier: Hi, Berby! Yadina: Hi, Berby!

Berby: Hello. Brad: Hi, Berby!

Berby: Ooh. Brad: Oof.

Berby: Wooo! Xavier: (humming)

Xavier: We're getting something!

Yadina: A baseball?

Berby, this is no time for games,

I have a real problem to solve!

Berby: (computing noises)

Xavier: Look! That's who we're going to meet: Jackie Robinson.

Yadina: In California.

Brad: In .

Almost years ago!

Yadina: Hmm. I wonder if Jackie Robinson and his baseball

can really help get the playground back to normal.

Xavier: Only one way to find out...

Ready for adventure?

Yadina: Ready! Brad: Ready?

Berby: (bleep blarp bloop)

Yadina: Here we go!

Xavier: It's Happening! Yadina: Hang on Dr Zoom!

Xavier: Woohoo! Brad: Wooah!

Berby: (cheering)

Xavier: Well here we are. Berby: Woo.

Xavier: California, in the year .

Yadina: Warm breeze, shining sun...

Brad: Oof! Sturdy trees...

Xavier: (gasps) And flying rubber balls!

Brad: Ahh! Oof!

Jackie Robinson: Sorry about that.

Yadina: That kid is gooood.

Berby: (beeping)

Xavier: He's Jackie Robinson!

Jackie: Do you guys want to play with us?

Yadina: Everyone playing together?

Now that's the way it should be.

Xavier: Brad! I'm open!

Xavier: Woah! (thud)

Nevermind.

Jackie: (laughs) I'll get it!

Sarah: Hey! You know you're not allowed on our lawn, Jackie!

Jackie: But, Sarah, I was just-

(clears throat)

Jackie: (sighs)

Yadina: Wait. How come the other kids

can go after the ball, and not Jackie?

Jackie: It's because of my skin colour.

When you have skin like mine,

you get treated differently than everyone else.

Yadina: And I thought being treated differently

because of my coat was bad.

Being treated differently because of your skin

is terrible.

Brad: And really wrong.

Jackie Robinson: It makes me so mad.

You know what?

Maybe I won't let Sarah on my lawn.

Mallie Robinson: Jack Roosevelt Robinson,

I taught you better than that.

Jackie: But, mom...

Robinson: No "buts".

I heard what happened,

and even though you were treated unfairly,

you can't turn around and do the same thing.

You have to treat everyone fairly, no matter what.

If you do, they just might come around

and treat you fairly, too.

Maybe they'll even treat everyone fairly.

Now, I'm sure you've all worked up an appetite,

so why don't you invite everyone over

for milk and bread.

Jackie: Sarah, too?

Mallie Robinson: Mhm. Sarah, too.

Jackie Robinson: Sarah? It makes me feel sad

that you don't treat me like all the other kids.

But, I'd still like to be friends with you.

So... would you like to come over

for some milk and bread?

Sarah: Okay. Thanks.

Yadina: Whoa.

Yadina: The way Sarah treated Jackie was really wrong,

but he's still being nice to her.

Think everyone will treat Jackie fairly now?

Brad: I sure hope so.

Berby: (bleep)

Xavier: Looks like we're about to find out.

Berby: (cheers)

Xavier: Whoa! We're at a baseball game!

Yadina: I wonder why the Secret Museum sent us here?

Announcer: Now batting: second baseman Jackie Robinson!

Xavier: Hey, Jackie became a professional baseball player!

Kids: (cheering) Yay! Whoohoo! Go Jackie!

Crowd: (booing)

Yadina: Heeey.

Why isn't everyone cheering?

Oh yeah! Yay! Woo hoo!

Brad: Looks like they're the only ones cheering for Jackie.

(dramatic music) ♪♪

Jackie: (grunts)

Brad: Woohoo! You run Jackie!

♪♪

Xavier: Aw. He's out.

Jackie Robinson: (sigh)

Yadina: Jackie! Hi Jackie over here Jackie!

Yadina: What's going on?

Why's everyone being so... grumpy?

Jackie Robinson: Because until now,

everyone who played here was white.

And I'm, well, not.

So a lot of people are not happy to have me on the team.

Yadina: But, that is so...

Brad: Unfair!

Like when Jackie wasn't allowed on that family's lawn.

Yadina: What are you going to do?

Jackie Robinson: Keep treating everyone fairly,

no matter what.

Then maybe they'll treat me

and everyone else fairly, too.

Xavier: Good luck out there, Jackie.

Jackie Robinson: Thanks, guys.

Announcer: Now at the top of the third inning,

back up to bat, Jackie Robinson!

Yadina: Wooo! Goooo Jackie!

Give me a "J"...

Crowd: (booing)

Yadina: How bout an "A"?

Crowd: (booing) Yadina: Aw.

Brad: Things sure were different in .

Yadina: It must be so hard for Jackie not to get mad.

He could just throw down his bat and leave.

Xavier: He could, but I don't think that's Jackie's style.

(crowd booing)

Mallie Robinson: Treat everyone fairly, no matter what.

(sigh)

Jackie: (grunts)

Yadina/Xavier/Brad: (gasps)

(exciting music) ♪♪

Yadina: It's a...

Home run! Xavier: Woohoo!

Crowd: (cheering) Kids: Yaa hoo!

(celebratory music) ♪♪

Yadina: Jackie Robinson is amazing!

Not just cause he's a great baseball player,

but because he did what was right

and treated everyone fairly,

no matter what.

I know I have to do on the playground now.

Yadina: Bye, Jackie.

Xavier: Berby, let's go home.

Berby: (bleep blarp)

Yadina: Excuse me.

I didn't like it when you said

I couldn't use the swings.

It wasn't fair.

And, it made me feel sad.

Yadina: But I'd still like it if you'd come play

on the slide with me.

Yadina: I know I said before

that only kids with red coats could use it,

but that wasn't right.

We should all play together!

And with everyone!

Brian: I guess it would be okay if everyone used the swings.

It was kind of lonely swinging all by myself.

Yadina: Well come on, let's play!

Kids: (laughing)

Yadina: Jackie Robinson was so brave!

Even though people didn't treat him fairly,

he still played his best and kept on being nice to everyone

and now people of all colours get to play baseball together.

Xavier: Because that's what's right.

Berby: (cheering)

Brad: (whispers)

Safe!

Once a year, all baseball players wear Jackie's number-

All: Forty-two!

Brad: -as a special way of saying

thank you for everything he did.

Yadina: Thanks for joining our awesome adventure

to meet Jackie Robinson.

Brad: Who used to be a kid,

just like you and me.

Xavier: So kids like you can change the world!

I am Xavier.

Brad: I am Brad.

Yadina: I am Yadina.

And I will always treat everyone fairly,

no matter what.

Just like Jackie Robinson!

Berby: Whoooo!

(bleep blarp bloop)

(deep breathing)

(ding!)

(bleep blarp)

Berby: Yay!

Xavier: Berby! You ready for another race around the world?

Berby: (buzzing) Xavier: Good! Cause I'm

revving up to win in the

Nelly Bly special steam train.

Woo hoo!

Amazing fact,

this is the very train Nelly Bly used in her own,

race around the world.

She chugged across America

at a record miles per hour.

And won! Just like I'm going to win our race.

Berby: (bleep blarp)

Xavier: Oh I'm ready,

real ready. (ding ding)

Berby: Woo hoo!

Xavier: Huh. Steam trains take a...

bit to get going,

but here I come Berby!

(train whistle)

Xavier: Chugga chugga, chugga chugga,

chugga chugga, choo choo!

(train whistle)

Xavier: Awesome, full speed ahead!

(train whistle)

Xavier: (coughing)

Another amazing fact,

trains need tracks to run on.

(squealing brakes)

Looks like you win again Berby.

Berby: (cheers)

Xavier: Let's update the scoreboard.

Yowzers, I'll get you next time Berby.

Berby: (bleep, blarp) Xavier: Because I never give up!

Xavier: What can a magic shoe do?

Brad: Maybe it never gets smelly!

Xavier: Hey look - Anna Pavlova!

That's who we're going to meet!

Berby: (bleep bloop)

That was really pretty... whatever it was.

Anna Pavlova: Spasibo!

Xavier: You call this 'Spasiba'?

Yadina: Xavier, she's speaking Russian.

We need the translator!

Xavier: Oh! Right...

Anna: Spasibo, Spasibo... Thank you!

I was just copying the swan,

trying to move as gracefully as it does.

Xavier: Oh cool! But uh, why?

Anna: So I can learn to be a graceful ballerina!

It's been my dream

ever since I saw my first ballet!

It was so beautiful.

I decided one day,

I would dance on that stage.

Xavier: That's just like when I saw the magic show!

I wanted to be just like that magician.

So cool. So mysterious!

(sigh) But, I'm not very good...

Anna: Don't worry.

I didn't get into ballet school the first time I tried.

But, when you love doing something,

you have to keep trying.

Like I did. And now, here I am!

Brad: You made it into ballet school!

Yadina: See? You should keep trying at magic.

Xavier: I dunno...

(bells rings)

Anna: Oh! It's time for class. Come on!

Brad: Psst, hey Yadina.

Doesn't this seem familiar?

Anna does ballet

the same way Xavier does magic!

They've both got style...

Xavier: Yeah, but we can't actually do it right?

Brad: Weeeeell... Yadina: Yes! Exactly!

Anna: Phew, that was tough!

I'm not quite as good as the others.
