About this listen

The extraordinary memoir from baseball icon Jackie Robinson - originally published in 1948, just a year after he shattered baseball’s color barrier, and now released as an audiobook for the very first time.

“I’m not concerned with your liking or disliking me...all I ask is that you respect me as a human being.”

So says number 42, who comes alive to share his story, up to and through that historic first season, as told to famed sportswriter Wendell Smith, with a foreword by Brooklyn Dodgers General Manager Branch Rickey.

Travel back in time, as the Dodgers legend guides you through his athletic upbringing, his short stint with the Kansas City Monarchs of the Negro Leagues, and his breakthrough to the big leagues, at the age of 28.

Featured Article: The Best Baseball Audiobooks of All Time


Ask any baseball fan and they'll tell you: some of their favorite sounds can only be heard at the ballpark—the smooth, satisfying pop of a catcher’s glove as a pitch hits its mark; the crack of a bat as it tears into a fastball, explosive and hopeful, drawing the crowd to their feet. Our list, a roundup of outstanding baseball audiobooks, offers a glimmer of that same ballpark magic with just a few of the greatest stories from our national pastime.

I can’t believe this title has been lost to history. The importance of Jackie Robinson to the history of baseball can not be understated. And to hear the story of his experience from HIS words, is something that should be brought back to the forefront. Absolutely amazing narration by David Sadzin, and a great intro written by the owner of the Brooklyn Dodgers narrated by Kyle Tait brings this story closer to home than ever before.
