(4) 4-6 Joe Stoshack, who traveled into baseball's past in Honus and Me, decides to study Jackie Robinson for Black History Month. Traveling back to 1947, Joe meets Robinson and observes the racism the Brooklyn Dodger encounters as the first African-American major leaguer. Illustrated with historic photographs, this overly purposeful novel tries to compare Robinson's 1947 experiences to the milder prejudice Joe feels when he's called a "Polack."
