PUBLISHER'S SUMMARY:
Before baseball led America toward integration, the Negro Leagues were the showcase for some of the best athletic talent in the country - only their names are largely unknown, even today. Author John B. Holway tells the story of these men, and the odd mix of sports, politics, and racism they endured. Dave Barnhill in Zulu costume barnstorming with the Ethiopian Clowns. Buck O'Neil dodging bullets from a railroad cop. Gene Benson punching a soldier who ordered him out of a railroad car in the South, and many others. Holway's lifetime of fan-hood and reporting has culminated in this look at an American sports anomaly - a league defined by race - and the men who gave it their all for very little money and, until now, very little recognition.
