The Negro Leagues' Integration Era

(4) YA Negro Baseball Leagues series. Despite occasional photo caption inaccuracies, this series is a worthy addition to any baseball collection. Who wouldn't admire players such as "Pop" Lloyd, who was hit by a foul ball in his left eye, hit in the right eye four innings later, and showed up to play the following day? Frequent quotations and plentiful archival photographs enliven this fascinating period in sports history. Reading list, timeline. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these Negro Baseball League titles: Great Hitters of the Negro Leagues, Great Pitchers of the Negro Leagues, The Negro Leagues' Integration Era, and The Story of the Negro Leagues.
