Baseball evoked all that was sound in the world of sports: team spirit and fair play. But the national pastime has exemplified much of what is wrong with the American sporting scene. This book examines the office of the commissioner of baseball and offers an assessment of how the commissioner truly acts as the conscience of America's game.
From 1947, when Jackie Robinson joined the Brooklyn Dodgers, through 1959, when the Boston Red Sox became the last Major League team to integrate, more than a hundred African American baseball players crossed the colour line and made it to the Major Leagues. This book profiles each of these players, their statistics, and their triumphs and trials.
