This was a great book which gave a lot of insight into the Negro Leagues history and it's operation. Key owners and players were highlighted. The book gave insight into the mood of many white Americans who felt that these players should have been given the opportunity to play in the major leagues as far back as the early thirties. The book showed how different the lives of black players in the 1930-40s were from white players and how much less the negro players were paid compared to their white counterparts. A wonderful biography of the best hitter in black baseball.
