DJ has some soiling and edge wear. Format is approximately 10.25 inches by 11.25 inches. Foreword by Roger Wilkins. Epilogues by Sharon Robinson and David Robinson. The tale of Jackie Robinson does not begin and end with baseball. It includes family, friends, and--after his retirement--the business world and the civil rights movement. In an evocative, humorous, and personal style, Robinson reveals her husband as a sensitive and committed individual. Her keen observations and sharp memories are enhanced by a unique collection of photographs that allow readers into Robinson's life: his youth, college, army days, and his time with his loving family. Jack Roosevelt Robinson (January 31, 1919 October 24, 1972) was an American professional baseball player who became the first African American to play in Major League Baseball (MLB) in the modern era. Robinson broke the baseball color line when the Brooklyn Dodgers started him at first base on April 15, 1947. When the Dodgers signed Robinson, they heralded the end of racial segregation in professional baseball that had relegated black players to the Negro leagues since the 1880s. Robinson was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962. Robinson had an exceptional 10-year MLB career. He was the recipient of the inaugural MLB Rookie of the Year Award in 1947, was an All-Star for six consecutive seasons from 1949 through 1954, and won the National League Most Valuable Player Award in 1949the first black player so honored. Derived from a Publishers Weekly article: There's a mythical character to the story of Jackie Robinson's life and his integration of major league baseball in 1947 that still inspires and amazes. No other professional athlete has combined such excellence and daring on the field with such a fiercely courageous social commitment off it. His wife's straightforward portrait of her life with Jackie, written with Lee Daniels, has much the same effect--one can't help but admire the both of them. She met Robinson at UCLA in 1939 ("He was very impressive"), where he starred in baseball, football and track; she recounts his army career and his acquittal on drunk and disorderly charges, after a confrontation with racist military police, in a notorious court martial. She happily contrasts the warm embrace of the Canadian fans after Jackie joined the Brooklyn Dodgers top farm club, the Montreal Royals, with the racist harassment the couple experienced in Florida during that first spring training in 1946. And while she writes with the gentle, nostalgic voice of a wife and mother, Rachel Robinson has been a heroine in her own right and she notes her own formidable achievements: she was present at the strategy sessions of Robinson and Brooklyn Dodger president Branch Rickey; she runs the Jackie Robinson Development Corporation, which builds low- and moderate-income housing; and she launched the Robinson Foundation scholarship fund for minority youth after her husband's death in 1972. There is much about their family life and 310 black and white photographs in this quietly informative and often charming retelling of a great American story. Presumed first edition/first printing thus. …
