Jackie Robinson
In the season one finale of The Baseball Book Club, John and Leroy run up the list on Joe Posnanski's The Baseball 100 to number 42, looking at the great Jackie Robinson. In addition to this in depth look at the man that was more than just breaking the color barrier, the duo will also talk about a chapter out of Posnanski's other book, Why We Love Baseball. Finally, they will offer their own take on the controversial topic of MLB's decision to integrate the stats from the Negro Leagues into Major League Baseball.
