About this product
Product Information
This book uses quotes to narrate the life and career of Jackie Robinson, the first African American to play Major League Baseball and one of the most famous players of all time, just in time for Father's Day and the 70th anniversary celebration of Robinson's first MLB début.Jackie Robinson was a Hall-of-Fame second baseman for the Brooklyn Dodgers. He was most famous for breaking the baseball color line with the Dodgers on April 15, 1947, though he was also known for his strong character and political activism that contributed to the Civil Rights Movement. Every year on April 15, all players in the MLB recognize Jackie Robinson Day by wearing Jackie's number, 42. He was an inspiration to players, fans and underdogs around the world. With Baseball Immortal: Jackie Robinson , Danny Peary takes you on an incredible, unique journey to a time of great progress in America and some really good baseball. Get a first-hand, 360-degree look at one of America's greatest and most important athletes through his words and the words of those around him - from his outspoken wife, Rachel Robinson, his childhood influencers, fans, other baseball greats and more. This book is perfect for baseball fans and historians across the country, especially since the book will publish in time for Father's Day gifts. Baseball fans will get an advantage reading about Robinson's life just in time to celebrate major anniversaries of the great player. In 2016 and 2017, the MLB will commemorate the 70th anniversaries of Robinson's first debuts in the minor leagues and in the major leagues with the Dodgers, along with other anniversaries like the 35th anniversary of his induction into the Hall of Fame.

Reviews
"As someone who knew Jackie and practically grew up in the Dodgers' clubhouse at Ebbets Field, I'm genuinely impressed with the masterful way Danny Peary has selected and assembled thousands of quotes by and about him that capture both the fascinating historical landscape of a baseball pioneer and the emotional depth of his journey toward social justice." --Roy Campanella II, son of three-time National League MVP for the Brooklyn Dodgers and award-winning film and TV director, writer, and producer "During my nine seasons as Jackie Robinson's teammate, I marveled most at his self-control under tremendous duress. He was disciplined, determined, steadfast in his convictions, and the most exciting player in baseball--then and now. You'll catch all that and more as you read these pages of quotes by and about a true American hero." --Carl Erskine, pitcher who won 122 games for the Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers between 1948 and 1959, including two no-hitters

- h***j (2355)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseItem arrived timely, well packaged, in good condition, and was as described. My only disappointment was that I ordered 3 cd's from the seller, and I asked for combined shipping and the seller agreed. Seller deducted $1.38 from the original shipping of $13.89, resulting in a charge of $12.51 to ship 3 cd's (weighing 11 oz.) That was not what reputable sellers would consider to be "combined" shipping. I ordered anyway. My fault for not clarifying with the seller. what combined shipping meant.Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari : Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari: Divertimento - SACD - CPO (#255629538879)
