A fascinating, lavishly-illustrated (some 600 b&w photographs--many never before published) chronicle of the evolution of both baseball and American society, from Simpson Younger's participation on the first "mixed" college team in 1867, to Jackie Robinson's breaking the major leagues' color barrier after WWII, to the final decline of the Negro Leagues in the 1950s. Includes extensive player and team records.
