"Here is the inspiring story of the Negro leagues and the talented athletes who would not let their skin color keep them from the game they loved - men like Rube Foster the 'father of black baseball' Satchel Paige arguably the best pitcher ever - black or white - and lightning-quick Cool Papa Bell who could round the bases in twelve seconds flat. " They warmed up by pretending to pitch hit and field an imaginary ball - so convincingly that fans could not believe it wasn't real. They called it shadow ball - and it came to stand not only for the way the players warmed up but the way they were forced into the shadows when the all-white majors shut them out at the turn of the century. . Index. Scores of b/w photos. . Alfred A. Knopf hardcover
