As star players for the 1955 World Champion Brooklyn Dodgers, and prior to that as the first black players to be candidates to break professional baseball's color barrier, Jackie Robinson and Roy Campanella would seem to be natural allies. But the two men were divided by a rivalry going far beyond the personality differences and petty jealousies of competitive teammates. Behind the bitterness were deep and differing beliefs about the fight for civil rights.

Great History Lesson,
Revisado: 02-15-17
Would you listen to Jackie and Campy again? Why?
Absolutely, this history story was great and I learned a great deal about these two great and their struggles. One thing I have found, if the narration is not great I lose interest. Lamarr Gulley hit it out of the park and keep me interested the entire time.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Jackie and Campy?
To me this is a showcase on race and class in America as a whole. Two men with more in common then they realized facing racism in the sports arena.
Have you listened to any of Lamarr Gulley’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
His best work yet. Enthusiasm to the max! Not just Robinson and Campanella, but throughout the book.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Some parts made me a little sad to see what these two great men had to endure. This rendition kept me interested so I would listen every free moment.
Any additional comments?
I'm impressed with both the body of work, but also with Mr. Gulley's exceptional performance.
