{"product_id":"when-jackie-and-hank-met","title":"When Jackie and Hank Met","description":"\u003cp\u003eJackie and Hank were born eight years and one thousand miles apart. Nobody knew these babies would grow up and play baseball. Nobody knew Jackie and Hank would meet and become heroes. Jackie Robinson and Hank Greenberg were two very different people. But they both became Major League Baseball players  and they both faced a lot of the same challenges in their lives and careers. For Jackie  it was because of his skin color For Hank  it was because of his religion. On May 17  1947 these two men met for the first time colliding at first base in a close play. While the crowd urged them to fight  Jackie and Hank chose a different path. This is the story of two men who went on to break the barriers of race and religion in American sports and became baseball legends in the process. Beautiful text by Cathy Goldberg Fishman is paired with sumptuous paintings by Mark Elliott. Generous back matter material includes a photo and prose biography of each man  timelines  quotes  resources to learn more  and a selected bibliography.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44947826081845,"sku":"ByrdShop_076146140X","price":59.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780761461401_2c84c5c8-3809-4403-8061-e912f4b07d0c.jpg?v=1770436745","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/when-jackie-and-hank-met","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
