Book Reviews of Baseball's Great Experiment: Jackie Robinson and His Legacy
Book Review: After reading this book you will want to change the world.
Summary: 5 Stars
The early twentieth century saw baseball achieve almost mythical proportions in popularity. In 1947 Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier and became a myth himself. He forever changed the way the game was played and helped the cause of civil rights everywhere. Tygeil writes passionately about Robinson's character and achievements and puts them in perspective with the time he lived. After reading this book, you will never look at baseball or civil rights the same. This is not just another book on baseball. This book shows how baseball changed humanity.
