ISBN: 9780670060412.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoy Campanella loved baseball. A professional player from the age of fifteen, he later became the first African-American catcher to integrate Major League Baseball. Fans and players adored Campy for his good nature, and cheered his multiple MVP awards as a Brooklyn Dodger. But in 1958, his career ended when a car accident left him a quadriplegic. Refusing to give in to self-pity, Campy became a Dodgers coach, held baseball clinics for teenagers, and bravely advocated for the disabled.\nWith honesty and affection, award-winning author David A. Adler tells the story—complemented by stunning oil paintings by Gordon C. James—of a man who was so much more than a sports hero.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Viking Books for Young Readers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45118160076853,"sku":"ByrdShop_0670060410","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780670060412_153123cc-a669-4b56-b1c4-31dc71052d38.jpg?v=1781122091","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/campy-the-story-of-roy-campanella-9780670060412","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
