The idea of integrating baseball began as a dream in the mind of Branch Rickey. In 1947, as president and general manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, he defied racism on and off the field to bring Jackie Robinson into the major leagues, changing the sport and the nation forever. Rickey's is the classic American tale of a poor boy from Ohio whose deep-seated faith and dogged work ethic took him to the pinnacle of success, earning him a place in the Hall of Fame and in history.

What a great book!
Revisado: 07-20-20
"Baseball was a sport for hillbillies with great eyesight" page 6, and it keeps going on and on like this. Great truths, fantastic research, and all you'd expect from the last real reporter in America. I listened to it while exercising, then had to read over what I covered when I was done, as seeing the words makes a difference. I only wish Breslin read it, but Dick Hill does a pretty good version of him. A+
