Text of Note

Chronicles the real and painful struggles of the black players who followed Jackie Robinson into major and minor league baseball from 1947 to 1968. This book shares the players' personal and often heart-wrenching stories of intense racism, both on and off the field, mixed with a sometimes begrudged appreciation for their tremendous talents.
