Overview

“True Heroes of Baseball: The Stories of Jackie Robinson and Roberto Clemente” is a short ebook about two baseball players who, through the force of their will and determination, became more than just athletes—they became honest-to-goodness heroes.

Written with style and sophistication by David H. Martinez, the critically praised author of “The Book of Baseball Literacy,” this book is aimed at young readers who are just learning about baseball history and want to find out about two of its most important figures. It is also perfect for parents who want to read to their children about what it means to persevere, to show courage, and to achieve a greater purpose.

These two stories are each about 2,500 words and can be read in just one sitting. They are not complete biographies. Rather, they are biographical sketches that detail how Robinson and Clemente honed their skills, led their teams to the heights of victory, and earned the respect of fellow players, fans, and sportswriters everywhere.

If you’re interested in learning about these two remarkable men, “True Heroes of Baseball” is the perfect place to start.
