“The desegregation of the Pacific Coast League is a story that has
never been fully told until now. Amy Essington gives a thorough
account of the process and the individuals. . . . Essington
explains the story beyond Robinson and Rickey. A definite
must-read.”—Leslie Heaphy, editor of Satchel Paige and Company:
Essays on the Kansas City Monarchs, Their Greatest Star, and the
Negro Leagues
“Based on a subject that has received too little attention from
sports historians, The Integration of the Pacific Coast League
explores the important role that the PCL played in the integration
of baseball and how it became one of the first sports leagues to be
fully integrated.”—Dick Beverage, founder and former president of
the Pacific Coast League Historical Society
