A review by libtusks
Branch Rickey by Jimmy Breslin

3.0

I listened to this via audiobook. It was short, just over 4 hours and with Dick Hill's narration it takes you back to the good ole days of baseball. I thought it was a good, short read, about Branch Rickey and unlike some of the other reviews I appreciated the focus on Jackie Robinson's experiences. I do care that Robinson wouldn't sit on the back of the bus in Fort Hood, TX. That incident was part of the times, and part of Robinson's experience. To say that the anecdote is unnecessary is overlooking the importance of history in your quest to know more about a batting cage.
