This was really enjoyable! I'm only a fair-weather baseball fan and it kept me engaged and entertained.

"Change come hard for some, but it still comes, and 100 year after his birth and 46 years after his death, that is the ultimate legacy that Jackie Robinson leaves."
I have always loved learning about Jackie Robinson. It took a lot of courage for him to choose to be baseballs greatest experiment and I just have so much respect for him. I haven't read a ton of books about him but what I loved about this one is that it focused not just on Jackie Robinson but the people he played baseball with and interacted with. Yes he was baseball's greatest experiment but it took more than just him to make it happen. I just loved that this book focused on all the people who supported (or did not) Branch Rickey's decision to break the color barrier in major league baseball. Also the book shows how Jackie Robinson affected their lives and careers and how they had an impact on his. It shows how much support he had through out his career.
This book was well written and you can tell that the author really did his research. I mean its not easy writing a book about a baseball player that has had multiple books already written about him. I do feel like I learned so much and I just really enjoyed this book! I think any baseball fan will too.
