(3) 4-6 My Name Is America series. In his journal, seventeen-year-old Biddy Owens--"equipment manager, scorekeeper, errand boy, and sometimes right fielder" for the Birmingham Black Barons--describes his love of baseball. Myers, with his usual clear, strong writing voice, conveys the excitement, anger, frustration, and poignancy of the last years of the Negro Leagues. Appended is a brief historical note and archival photos.
