  BLACK
BALL Vol 2 : 
The history of Major League Baseball will
remain forever marred by its early policy
of segregation. But that policy indirectly
created the "Negro Leagues"--and some of the
best baseball a fan could hope for. This book
of postcards celebrates the Leagues' barnstorming
teams and great ballplayers in thirty concisely
annotated photographs from the National Baseball
Library, in Cooperstown, New York, and from
the collections of the players themselves.

 BLACK
BALL:
From the archives of the National Baseball
Library in Cooperstown, New York, here are
thirty fascinating photographs of the players
of the so-called Negro leagues. From 1897
until 1945, when Jackie Robinson signed a
contract with the Brooklyn Dodgers, black
players were not allowed in the major leagues.
So the Negro leagues were formed, with their
own regional leagues that met in their own
world series. This book of postcards is a
lasting tribute to these legendary stars of
baseball. 30 duotone photographs. |
