The Negro Leagues' Integration Era

Baseball is known as America's Pastime, but it was not until 1947 that all Americans were allowed to play in Major League Baseball. Until then, the best black players were limited to the Negro Leagues, ragtag groups of teams unknown to most of white society. The Negro Leagues' Integration Era takes readers through the tumultuous beginnings of integrated baseball. With vivid descriptions of Jackie Robinson's groundbreaking journey and the players who followed him, a timeline, a glossary, and more, this series is a must-read for any baseball fan. Book jacket.
