Frommer) Nothing defines America like baseball. And nothing defines baseball like the Yankees. From their historic beginnings as the New York Highlanders playing in Manhattan's Hilltop Park in 1903, to their reign as the modern-day dynasty that brought Major League Baseball into a new millennium with World Series championships in '96, '98, '99, and 2000, this team has given us a century of triumphs and heartbreaks. "If you love baseball, if you love the New York Yankees, you will love this book." - PAUL O'NEILL Blending exclusive interviews with Rachel Robinson, Mack Robinson (Jackie's brother), Hall of Famers Monte Irvin, Duke Snider, Pee Wee Reese, Roy Campanella, Ralph Kiner and others, celebrated author Harvey Frommer evokes the lives of Brooklyn Dodgers General Manager Branch Rickey and heralded baseball player Jackie Robinson to describe how they worked together to shatter baseball's color line. Now in paperback edition. "My great respect, gratitude and warmth for your scholarly work and to preserving the legacy of my dear husband." - RACHEL ROBINSON Growing Up Baseball captures the dream that lived in the young hearts and minds of sixty-nine baseball players who made it to the major leagues. The Frommers use first-hand interviews with legendary figures such as Nolan Ryan and Jim Palmer, as well as less frequently remembered players, to bring to light the hopes and dreams that propelled them to success. People like Elden Auker, who at age 91 is one of the game's oldest living players.

The book includes a valuable appendix presenting Jackson's testimony before a Chicago grand jury, which reinforces the contention that the player was a victim.
