Pride Against Prejudice The Biography of Larry Doby - Contributions in Afro-American and African Studies Author:Joseph Thomas Moore "Aware of Mr. Doby's neglect by biographers, Mr. Moore, who has been a fan of his subject ever since he heard the Doby legend, seeks to give him recognition. . . . Mr. Moore effectively uses records, interviews, and a clear narrative style to make his points (what is more persuasive in sports than an athlete's record! what is more animated than ... more »public statements and their refutations!), and gives voice to some of Mr. Doby's severest critics....Pride Against Prejudice is a tribute to both its author and Larry Doby" New York Times Book Review "This is an excellent biography of Larry Doby, the first black player in the American League and one of the first black managers in the major leagues. . . . Moore has done a superb job of researching Doby's life and writing about it. The book is highly recommended." The Sporting News« less
