The book contains information about the journey of a famous athlete. And this book has been around since 2003 in bookstores and has already received 111 comments from readers, according to the source of the Amazon, while according to BN there are 31 readers who already give comments.
A lot of inspiration and motivation that can be after reading this book. Learning from the experience of others is an effective learning process. All the good things we can sample and things that are not good should not in the example.
I quote a few sentences from BN, as follows:
I Never Had It Made recalls Robinson's early years and influences: his
time at UCLA, where he became the school's first four-letter athlete;
his army stint during World War II, when he challenged Jim Crow laws and
narrowly escaped court martial; his years of frustration, on and off
the field, with the Negro Leagues; and finally that fateful day when
Branch Rickey of the Brooklyn Dodgers proposed what became known as the
"Noble Experiment"—Robinson would step up to bat to integrate and
revolutionize baseball.
Some say that the content of this book is not about baseball, but about the life story of a Robinson filled with struggles of life.
