About this ebook

En una época caracterizada por la discriminación, Jack Roosevelt "Jackie" Robinson rompió la barrera racial de la Liga Mayor de Béisbol. Antes de que Robinson ocupara su lugar como primera base, la liga mayor discriminaba a los deportistas afroamericanos y les negaba la posibilidad de competir. A pesar de enfrentarse al acoso de los aficionados y de otros jugadores, Robinson permanecía concentrado en el juego, y se convirtió en el Novato del Año de la MLB en 1947 y posteriormente en una leyenda del béisbol. Esta biografía gráfica acompaña a Robinson en su momento en los equipos semiprofesionales, sus días en el ejército estadounidense y su experiencia histórica con los Brooklyn Dodgers.
