Editorial Reviews

From Booklist
Kelley, who has authored six previous baseball books, interviews 66 former Negro League players, many now in their 80s and 90s, about their game, their league,^B and their lives. Among the highlights are a discussion with Ted Rasberry, who was--at various times--an owner (of the Kansas City Monarchs), a player, a traveling secretary, a manager, and even the vice president of the Negro American League. Many of the men interviewed played in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s against the legends of the Negro Leagues (Satchel Paige, Josh Gibson, Cool Papa Bell, and Willie Wells). They recall those encounters with the same reverence that today's "cup-of-coffee" players will remember their days on the field with Cal Ripken Jr. or Mark McGwire. Despite all the hardships and indignities they endured, these men make clear that they were, above all else, ballplayers. Almost to a man, they say they'd do it again. Wonderful reading for baseball fans. Wes Lukowsky

4.0 out of 5 stars wonderful look, great book, June 28, 2000
By Scott Johnson (Great Falls, MT) - See all my reviews
I have the pleasure of having season tickets right behind one of the gentlemen interviewed for this book and spent the last baseball game enjoying an advanced copy of it. The book is filled with great stats and homestyle pictures. The compilation flows with the memories of young men, that have somehow, gotten to be old men. Tall tales abound with plenty of winks and nods, but just reading about the antics, road trips and walks to the ball parks makes my heart ache for youth for these men. my hope is that all will read this book, or any book about the negro and independant leagues, they are a reminder of when baseball was less of a business and more of a passion.
