Opis

This book covers New Jerseys extensive role in segregated baseball, from the White Stockings historic refusal to play the integrated Newark Little Giants in 1887, to the Gentlemens Agreement (decided in the Garden State), through the demise of the Negro Leagues. Throughout, it focuses on the people (players and others), with extensive coverage of New Jerseys ball parks and teams.
