Dixie Howell played in the Major Leagues from 1947-1956 with the Pittsburgh Pirates, Cincinnati Reds and Brooklyn Dodgers. Dixie is best known for playing on the 1955 Dodgers.
A teammate of Jackie Robinson in the minors and in the Big Leagues, he was quoted as saying, \"I was with Jackie on Montreal\", Howell told Roger Kahn in 1953. \"The way he was thrown at that year was unbelievable. Unbelievable and disgraceful.\"
\"You never saw anything like it\", Howell said in a Los Angeles Times interview published eight months before his 1990 death. \"Every time he came up, he\'d go down!\"
According to Robinson biographer Arnold Rampersad, Howell was one of two Southern-born Montreal players (with Marv Rackley) who personally wished Robinson well on his promotion to the parent Dodgers in April 1947, breaking the baseball color line.
