An inspiring picture book biography about Glenn Burke, the first Major League Baseball player to come out as gay, and the story of how he created the world’s most recognizable handshake, the high five. Playing for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Glenn Burke could do it all—hit, throw, run, field. He was the heart of the clubhouse who energized his teammates with his enthusiasm and love for the game. It was that energy that led Glenn to invent the high five one October day back in 1977—a spontaneous gesture after a home run that has since evolved into our universal celebratory greeting. But despite creating this joyful symbol, Glenn Burke, a gay Black man, wasn’t always given support and shown acceptance in return. From acclaimed author Phil Bildner, with illustrations from Daniel J. O'Brien, this moving picture book biography recognizes the challenges Burke faced while celebrating how his bravery and his now-famous handshake helped pave the way for others to live openly and free.

A Crabtree Groundbreaking Biography about the celebrated baseball Hall of Famer and one of baseball's all-time greatest hitters, who shattered Babe Ruth's home-run record in one of the defining moments of his life and career. Simultaneous. From Booklist: Blazing trails in such disparate worlds as major-league baseball and high fashion, the individuals profiled in the Crabtree Groundbreakers Biographies series will interest a broad audience of young researchers. Each volume follows its subject from childhood through adult achievements, including each individual’s activities today. Hank Aaron closes with references to how Hammerin’ Hank continues to raise awareness about racial equality in major-league baseball, from the field to the front office. The titles’ drab formats, featuring merely serviceable black-and-white photos, are balanced by numerous direct quotes from the subjects and interesting sidebars on well-chosen subjects that add historical and cultural context to the biographies. A glossary, chronology, and suggestions for further reading, online and on the page, conclude each volume in this sturdy series. Grades 5-8. --Gillian Engberg "About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
