from the earliest days through the Leagues' demise in 1963.... one
doesn't need to be a baseball fan to be fascinated." —Kirkus

"An engaging overview, richly augmented by archival photographs...
this title succeeds as a thoughtful introduction, capturing both
the significance of the Negro Leagues and the accomplishments of
its great players." —School Library Journal
