Burns slandered my beloved bums, the Brooklyn Dodgers of the 1950’s. He raised the nasty, chip-on-his-shoulder Jackie Robinson to be a saint, and put down great Christian men like PeeWee Reese, Gil Hodges, Preacher Roe, etc. He made the players from the south into racist demons. Thank goodness, other books, like “The Boys of Summer”, set the record straight!
