Crossing the Line Black Major Leaguers, 1947-1959

From 1947 through 1959, over 100 African American players made it to the major leagues. Each of these athletes is profiled in this comprehensive reference work--their playing careers and the on-and off-field difficulties they encountered in integrating the game. Some were stars, most were average players, but all were pioneers in the sport. For each, career statistics and a capsule biography are provided.Moffi, Larry is the author of 'Crossing the Line Black Major Leaguers, 1947-1959' with ISBN 9780899509303 and ISBN 0899509304.
