Based on the true story of a boy in Brooklyn who became neighbors
and friends with his hero, Jackie Robinson. Stephen Satlow is an
eight-year-old boy living in Brooklyn, New York, which means he
only cares about one thing-the Dodgers. Steve and his father spend
hours reading the sports pages and listening to games on the radio.
Aside from an occasional run-in with his teacher, life is pretty
simple for Steve.But then Steve hears a rumor that an African
American family is moving to his all-Jewish neighborhood. It's 1948
and some of his neighbors are against it. Steve knows this is
wrong. His hero, Jackie Robinson, broke the color barrier in
baseball the year before.Then it happens -- Steve's new neighbor is
none other than Jackie Robinson! Steve is beyond excited about
living two doors down from the Robinson family. He can't wait to
meet Jackie. This is going to be the best baseball season yet! How
many kids ever get to become friends with their hero?
