ROBINSON, Jackie BASEBALL HAS DONE IT
Lippincott Philadelphia (1964) First Edition. Black major leaguers 
including Hank Aaron, Frank Robinson, and Ernie Banks are interviewed by 
Jackie Robinson, certainly one of the most influential men ever to swing 
a bat, about their experiences in baseball. This copy is INSCRIBED by 
Robinson with the sentiment "Best Wishes" and SIGNED by him. Below that 
inscription in a darker ink and at a likely later date, Robinson has 
INSCRIBED "To Rhea and Tony Johnson/Every good wish for a long/and 
successful life/together," under which Robinson has SIGNED again. Two 
superb examples of this rather scarce signature on the same page. 
Bumping to bottom edge of book. Dustwrapper is moderately soiled with 
small chips, mostly on the rear. Very Good in a Good dustwrapper.
