Review of "Opening Day: The Story of Jackie Robinson's First Season" on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I thought it was very enlightening in portraying Jackie Robinson's first season with the Dodgers. Jonathan Eig was very careful with his sources and it showed. After reading I felt like I had a better idea of what Robinson's life was like and everything he had to go to and how he changed baseball for the better. A definite must for baseball fans and anyone who wants to learn more about Jackie Robinson and some of the history of baseball in general.
