One of Dodger great Carl Erskine‘s books is called WHAT I LEARNED FROM JACKIE ROBINSON. When it was published in 2005, Tommy Lasorda said, “Having had the privilege and honor to play on the same team as Jackie Robinson, I can say he was one of baseball’s finest competitors. He played the game like a man on a mission. Carl Erskine was a role model to me, and to many young players across the country. He exemplified class and dignity. He had tremendous talent on the field, and was a gentleman off the field. It is great this book is about Jackie’s teaching because we can all learn a lesson from his example.”
