Jackie and Hank were born eight years and one thousand miles apart.
Nobody knew these babies would grow up and play baseball. Nobody
knew Jackie and Hank would meet and become heroes. Jackie Robinson
and Hank Greenberg were two very different people. But they both
became Major League Baseball players, and they both faced a lot of
the same challenges in their lives and careers. For Jackie, it was
because of his skin color. For Hank, it was because of his
religion. On May 17, 1947 these two men met for the first time
colliding at first base in a close play. While the crowd urged them
to fight, Jackie and Hank chose a different path. This is the story
of two men who went on to break the barriers of race and religion
in American sports and became baseball legends in the process.
Beautiful text by Cathy Goldberg Fishman is paired with sumptuous
paintings by Mark Elliott. Generous back matter material includes a
photo and prose biography of each man, timelines, quotes, resources
to learn more, and a selected bibliography.
