None of the other Robinson books are as good as this,
By A Customer
This review is from: Jackie Robinson: Between the Baselines (Paperback)
This is the only Robinson biography I've read that tells me about the ballplayer and athlete - the others either try to turn him into a saint or a political figure. This book, while not ignoring his role or his image, places that in perspective and sticks with the story of what he actually did, rather than indulging in hagiography. And the revelations about what he actually did are startling.
