Robert B. Parker Double Play

For Joan, who has,

as I suspect of Rachel Robinson,

made all the difference

Note

This is a work of fiction about a real man. Most of what I’ve written I made up. I have, however, attempted to render Jackie Robinson accurately. As he was, or as I imagined him to be, in 1947, when I was turning fifteen, and he was changing the world. The rest is altogether fiction. It may be more Burke’s story than Jackie’s. But without Jackie, Burke would have had no story. And neither would I.
