African American Pioneers of Baseball: A Biographical Encyclopedia


$75


When Jackie Robinson became the first African American player in major league baseball in 1947, elbowing aside the league’s policies of segregation that had been inviolate for 60 years, he became a symbol of opportunity and acceptance for African American players everywhere.

Written for students and general readers alike, this biographical encyclopedia chronicles the history of African American baseball through the life stories of the game’s greatest players, the legends who played a significant role in the integration of the major league.From Negro League stars Satchel Paige and Josh Gibson, to color line shatterer Jackie Robinson, and those who followed them in the limelight, such as Hank Aaron and Willie Mays, readers will learn how the inclusion of African American players in Major League Baseball improved the sport and race relations in the United States during this critical period in history.Providing detailed accounts of each player’s amazing professional achievements, this insightful reference describes how the spectacular talents of African American players elevated Major League Baseball forever. Features include a timeline of important events, numerous photographs, and a bibliography of print and electronic sources for further reading.
