The integration of Major League Baseball in 1947 was a triumph. But it was also a fight. As the first Black major leaguer since the 1880s, Jackie Robinson knew he was not going to be welcomed into America’s pastime with open arms. Anticipating hostility, he promised Brooklyn Dodgers general manager Branch Rickey that he would “turn the other cheek” during his first years in the league, despite his fiercely competitive disposition.

Truly a most insightful and well researched book on the life of Jackie. I gained such an appreciation of just how incredible of an athlete Jackie was, but more importantly how deep his faith was that gave him the strength to persevere. Highly recommend.
