When the Negro National League was formed in Kansas City in 1920, a new chapter in sports history, indeed in American history, began to be written. Black Baseball in Detroit chronicles the history of the various teams and players that spent time in the "Motor City." With the hiring of pioneers like Jackie Robinson by the major leagues came the end of the Negro Leagues, and the end of an era. You will meet the players - "Ghost" Marcell, "Cool Papa" Bell, "Bingo" DeMoss, and the great Norman "Turkey" Stearnes - who made this sport a vibrant and exciting part of the American landscape. 128 Pages |
