  • Summary

  • - Jackie Robinson

    - Harold Seymour

    In 1960, Jackie Robinson had been retired from baseball for four years, having played his last game with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1956. During his post-playing career, Robinson remained active in civil rights causes and business ventures. This radio interview captures Robinson three years after his induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame, reflecting on his groundbreaking career and the state of baseball.Joining Robinson in this interview is Harold Seymour, a pioneering baseball historian. By 1960, Seymour had already published his influential work Baseball: The Early Years in 1960, which was the first of a three-volume series that would help establish baseball history as a serious academic field. This conversation likely touches on the historical context of Robinson's career and its impact on the game, as well as broader themes in baseball's development that Seymour was exploring in his research.#JackieRobinson #BaseballHistory #CivilRightsInSports #HaroldSeymour #Post-CareerInsights
