Jackie Robinson: An Intimate Portrait << Back to books
In 1947, Jack Roosevelt Robinson played his first game with the Brooklyn Dodgers and crossed baseball's long-standing color line. That momentous occasion paved the way for African-Americans in the sport of baseball and changed the scope of the game forever. Jackie Robinson: An Intimate Portrait is an in-depth look at baseball's most influential player. Written by Rachel Robinson, the widow of the late hero, the biography provides a unique perspective into the lives of the Robinson family. Share every historic moment with them as Jackie battles critics from all sides in his effort to play Major League Baseball. Celebrate with them as Jackie leads the Brooklyn Dodgers to their first-ever World Championship in 1955. The book also takes you through every major event in the Robinson family, from the couple's storybook romance at UCLA to Jackie's years in the army, and finally his illustrious career in Dodger blue. The biography comes complete with over 300 photographs, many directly out of Rachel's own family album, never published before. Jackie Robinson: An Intimate Portrait is the remarkable story of one of America's true heroes, and is a must-read for everyone.
