** Product Overview **

100+ Page Biographies of Baseball Hall of Fame Inductees with Information That Will Never Go Out of Date Shut out of the major leagues, African American players picked up games wherever they could until the official Negro leagues were started. Featuring information that will never go out of date, these six biographies paint the racial and political landscape of the first half of the last century, while featuring the life stories of some of the Negro leagues'--indeed, all of baseball's--greatest players. Monte Irvin was a baseball prodigy who was recruited into the Negro leagues at age seventeen. Although he was finally allowed into the major leagues, he had passed his prime, and most of America never witnessed his awesome talent on the diamond. This book describes the trials and joys endured by Negro league players and the difficulties they faced when integration finally hit major league baseball.
