Jackie Robinson Debuts for the Dodgers

All Of It - A podcast by WNYC

Categories:

[ORIGINALLY BROADCAST ON MAY 3, 2022] Inspired by the opening of the Jackie Robinson Museum in New York today, we reair our Full Bio conversation with Kostya Kennedy, author of a new biography about Jackie Robinson, called, True: The Four Seasons of Jackie Robinson. The book comes almost 75 years after Robinson made his professional baseball debut. For this installment, we talk about Robinson's playing career in Canada, and how he first suited up for the Brooklyn Dodgers.   CORRECTION: The introduction to this segment calls Branch Rickey the manager and team president of the Brooklyn Dodgers. He was actually the general manager and team president.
