Annotation

School Library Journal
Gr 4-8-- A book that begins with an inspiring and encouraging introduction, explaining individual differences and how successful players achieve stardom through hard work. This perseverance is evident in Robinson's life. Despite ups and downs, successes and mistakes, he ultimately became the first black manager in big-league history. Macht includes interesting anecdotes, and keeps readers up to date with current information about Robinson's award as Manager of the Year in 1989. Most of the black-and-white photos are clear and well chosen. --Blair Christolon, Prince William Library, Manassas, VA
