When Elaine Steward was interviewing for an internship in the Red Sox front office in 1988, she had a lot to consider.

So she called one of her mentors, Rachel Robinson, the wife of the late Jackie Robinson. Would Boston, with its difficult history of race relations, be a good place for a young African-American woman to begin her career?

“She had asked me if it would be OK with me if she looked into it herself, which she did,” Steward said.

Robinson went straight to the top, calling Red Sox owner John Harrington to get a better understanding of the job and the climate Steward might be entering in the Boston front office. After their discussion, Robinson was satisfied.

“This really seems like a great opportunity for you,” Steward recalled Robinson telling her. “I would wholeheartedly endorse it and think you should really consider making that move.”

It turned out to be excellent advice.
