Description and Table of Contents

Description

From 1947 through 1959, over 100 African American players made it to the major leagues. Each of these athletes is profiled in this comprehensive reference work--their playing careers and the on-and off-field difficulties they encountered in integrating the game. Some were stars, most were average players, but all were pioneers in the sport. For each, career statistics and a capsule biography are provided.
