Gentle Giant: The Andre Rodgers Story

Rating: Ages 13+

Andre Rodgers grew up playing cricket in the British colony of the Bahamas and had never even seen a game of baseball before he went to tryout for the San Francisco Giants minor league farm system in 1954. He was signed immediately and became a minor league superstar before playing eleven seasons in the major leagues with the Giants, the Cubs and the Pirates. Rodgers led by example and his gentle disposition taught many of his American counterparts how to deal with racism while successfully navigating the baseball fields of America.
