Super Book,

This review is from: The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars and Motor Kings: A NOVEL (Paperback)
My only complaint about this book was that it was too short.
I waited too long. Brashler's book sent me back in time to the 1930s and let me enter the world of Negro League baseball, and the atmospheric writing transported me there thoroughly. I'm now going to rent the DVD, and hope it's half as good as the book. I recommend this book to anyone who's a fan of baseball history.

The Soul Of Baseball...,
By Erren (San Francisco, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars and Motor Kings: A NOVEL (Paperback)
there was never a dull moment reading this. inspired by countless tape recordings brashler made with cool papa bell and satchel paige, this books puts you into the lives of back baseball players in the 1930's as they travel through the midwest, often encountering prejudice, con-men, loneliness and self-doubt but sticking to their guns and rising about the drama. the language brashler uses to tell the tale makes it authentic and warm. a perfect companion to the movie...
