Jackie Robinson是第一位打入大聯盟的非裔美國人，承蒙我對它的喜愛所影響，八歲時，我身無長物從來自上海的船走下來，找到通往美國夢的道路。現在王建民來了，他也和英文搏鬥。但是比起他和我之間，他和Jackie有著更多的相同點。這位洋基的王牌投手去曾連續得十九勝，是賽揚獎選拔的第二名，他是美國崛起新星。但在台灣，他早已是一位超級明星。每當他投球時，不論是現場直播或是錄影轉播，台灣人民立刻放下政治恩怨和個人的事務，聚集在意想不到的地方，共同為「建仔」加油。Jackie一度以他卓越及風雅打破族群藩籬。今天棒球界的鈴木一朗、松坂大輔和王建民則鑿去了文化的隔閡。當文明的衝突方興未艾之際，「我這個八歲小孩的心仍夢想著一個充滿希望的和諧世界。這封「時代雜誌」邀請Bette Bao Lord寫的王建民個人介紹文提及，她八歲時自上海到美國，因為對第一位非裔職棒選手Jackie Robinson著迷而找到了美國夢。

Product Description
Shirley Temple Wong sails from China to America with a heart full of dreams. Her new home is Brooklyn, New York. America is indeed a land full of wonders, but Shirley doesn't know any English, so it's hard to make friends. Then a miracle-baseball-happens. It is 1947, and Jackie Robinson, star of the Brooklyn Dodgers, is everyone's hero. Jackie Robinson is proving that a black man, the grandson of a slave, can make a difference in America and for Shirley as well, on the ball field and off, America becomes the land of opportunity.
