In the summer of 1949, the fierce rivalry between the Brooklyn Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals reaches a fever pitch as Jackie Robinson and his teammates chase a pennant they're determined to claim. Trailing the slugging Cards through July and into August, Jackie powers the Dodgers' comeback with his hitting, speed, and fearless baserunning—playing through injury to spark crucial victories in a series that will test both teams' resolve.

Babe Herman
4 pp · non-fiction; sports

Floyd Caves Herman, known as Babe, earned his nickname while being tutored in hitting by a Detroit coach who thought he could sock the ball as far as Babe Ruth himself—and the nickname stuck for life. This feature chronicles how Herman, one of Brooklyn's greatest stars and holder of batting records that still stood in 1951, became a Dodger legend despite his reputation as one of the "Daffiness Boys," known more for his colorful base-running mishaps and fielding adventures than for his thunderous hitting. Learn how his .393 average and 35 home runs in 1930 made him the most lovable player of Brooklyn's merriest era.

Jackie Robinson

Jackie Robinson's path to gridiron glory begins at Pasadena Junior College, where the multi-sport athlete juggles golf, track, swimming, and baseball in a single day—but it's his transfer to UCLA that proves transformative. As a freshman relegated to the sidelines watching the Bruins lose year after year, Robinson finally gets his chance to play, and his fearless determination on the field inspires a team of underdogs to pull off stunning upsets against heavily favored rivals. Through jaw-dropping plays and unshakeable resolve, Robinson earns his place among college football's elite and proves that true victory comes from never backing down.
