The bestselling autobiography of American baseball and civil rights\u00a0legend Jackie Robinson<\/p>\n

Before Reggie Jackson, before Hank Aaron, baseball’s stars had one undeniable trait in common: they were all white. In 1947, Jackie Robinson broke that barrier, striking a crucial blow for racial equality and changing the world of sports forever.\u00a0I Never Had It Made\u00a0is Robinson’s own candid, hard-hitting account of what it took to become the first black man in history to play in the major leagues.<\/p>\n

I Never Had It Made\u00a0recalls Robinson’s early years and influences: his time at UCLA, where he became the school’s first four-letter athlete; his army stint during World War II, when he challenged Jim Crow laws and narrowly escaped court martial; his years of frustration, on and off the field, with the Negro Leagues; and finally that fateful day when Branch Rickey of the Brooklyn Dodgers proposed what became known as the “Noble Experiment”\u2014Robinson would step up to bat to integrate and revolutionize baseball.<\/p>\n

More than a baseball story,\u00a0I Never Had It Made\u00a0also reveals the highs and lows of Robinson’s life after baseball. He recounts his political aspirations and civil rights activism; his friendships with Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, William Buckley, Jr., and Nelson Rockefeller; and his troubled relationship with his son, Jackie, Jr.<\/p>\n

I Never Had It Made\u00a0endures as an inspiring story of a man whose heroism extended well beyond the playing field.<\/p>\n
