I want to make a connection to the book called the Heat and Jackie Robinson. The book the Heat is about a boy named Michael Arroyo who grew up in New York. Michael Arroyo loved the game of baseball just like Jackie Robinson.  Michael wanted to be the greatest pitcher of all time and Jackie made history. Coaches said that Arroyo was too good to only be 12 years old. Jackie was the first African American to play in the major league. But both Michael and Jackie were two great baseball players to ever play baseball in major league.
