Jackie Robinson Review By: Alex May 14, 2002
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
The Story of Jackie Robinson: Bravest Man In Baseball is about a black man who never gave up. Although Jackie Robinson was a great college athlete he couldn't play in the Major Leagues because he was black. This was very unfair but one luckily day Jackie met a man named Branch Rickey who thought black men should be able to play baseball with white men. Branch Rickey was the general manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers and was willing to let Jackie on the team. This made Jackie very pleased. However, the Brooklyn Dodgers were not very kind to Jackie. But he lived through all this and won many different titles. I think you should read this book because it tells a true story about an African American hero!
Jackie Robinson Review By: Jordan May 14, 2002
The Story of Jackie Robinson, Bravest Man in Baseball is about Jackie Robinson overcoming the struggle of racism. In college Jackie Robinson was a great athlete who was good at a lot of sports. No black was allowed in the major leagues.But one day Branch Rickey asked Jackie to be in the major leagues and then that started the Noble experiment. At first the fans yelled racial slurs. In 1947 he became Rookie of the year. I recommend the book Jackie Robinson, Bravest Man in Baseball, to any baseball fan because it tells all about Jackieys career and struggles.
