This book is a biography about former Brooklyn Dodgers owner Branch Ricky. This story conflict was character vs society. The story is mainly about Branch Rickey's fight for African American player Jackie Robinson to play Professional Baseball made up of all whites. Branch faced tough criticism from the general public. He even got death threats delivered to his front door. Some threats where from some Dodgers players.

When I last made my update on Branch Rickey's own team refused to play with Jackie. A minor character in the book was a Dodgers player named Pee Wee Rease, he was the Dodgers star shortstop before Jackie Robinson was signed. He is important to the book beacuse, in one game when Jackie Robenson was facing harsh critics and threats to kill Jackie and branch. Pee Wee was always there on his side to sopporting them.
