Brooklyn Bat Boy: A Story Of The 1947 Season That Changed Baseball Forever

The 1947 season was important in baseball history because Jackie Robinson played first base for the Brooklyn Dodgers. Robinson broke the color barrier" that had kept African-Americans out of Major League Baseball. Brooklyn Bat Boy is the fictional story of Bobby Kelly, the 12-year-old bat boy for the 1947 Dodgers. As Bobby learns to accept the new idea of having an African-American playing for Brooklyn, he comes to respect Robinson and learn important lessons from him."--Page [4] of cover.
