History & Biography

“As a lifelong Yankees fan and a student of history, I can state my unequivocal view that the greatest combination in all of sports was not Ruth and Gehrig, or Mantle and Maris, or Jeter and Rivera. It was Branch Rickey and Jackie Robinson. By their extraordinary personal courage, Rickey and Robinson changed race relations in the United States more effectively and permanently that any legislation or litigation has—and produced fabulous baseball at the same time. In 42 Faith, Ed Henry has told the story of that remarkable courage and those happy changes and that exciting baseball with charm, brilliance, and page-turning joy.”
