A Man Named Branch

An Engaging Story of a Baseball Visionary

With an affectionate voice and captivating prose, Marjorie Maddox shines a light on her great uncle Branch Rickey, whose “great experiment” integrated Major League Baseball. This book’s page-turning pace will appeal to its intended young readers, indeed any reader. I remembered Branch Rickey from the movie “42: The Jackie Robinson Story” and enjoyed learning more about this visionary titan who changed baseball history. A fascinating story of an important time in America!
