Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

In Satchel Paige's view the Dodgers made a mistake in choosing Jackie Robinson over him to be their first black baseball player. That's because Paige proved to be a formidable player much longer than Robinson, in addition to being visibly better on the pitch. In addition, it was Paige who highlighted the black players, in addition to using all the influence he had to help and highlight the black players, something that Robinson did not do.
