Book Description
for Play Ball, Jackie! by Stephen Krensky and Joe Morse
From the Publisher
April 15, 1947, was Opening Day for the Brooklyn Dodgers. It was also the first major league game for Jackie Robinson who, at 28, was older than most rookies. But Robinson was no ordinary rookie. With this game, he broke baseball's long-established color line. Watch the game unfold though the eyes of Manny Romano (a fictional character) and his father.
