内容简介

100+ Page Biographies of Baseball Hall of Fame Inductees with Information That Will Never Go Out of Date Shut out of the major leagues, African American players picked up games wherever they could until the official Negro leagues were started. Featuring information that will never go out of date, these six biographies paint the racial and political landscape of the first half of the last century, while featuring the life stories of some of the Negro leagues'--indeed, all of baseball's--greatest players. Judy Johnson, also known as Mr. Sunshine, tore through the Negro leagues as one of the best pinch-hitting third basemen who ever played baseball. This book is a remarkable look back at a sports hero who lived life to the fullest, played the game he loved, and always remembered to treat people as equals, regardless of how he was treated. Readers will learn how far a good attitude can take a person.
