Overview
Before Jackie Robinson broke baseball's color barrier in 1946, black players had been shut out of the major leagues by the bigotry of white officials and owners. But since the early 1920's, thriving all-black leagues had showcased the talents of players like Josh Gibson, Judy Johnson, and Buck Leonard, who set records that still stand today. This fascinating book looks at the remarkable achievements the players of Negro leagues made despite enduring hostile conditions.Book Details
