Abstract "This is a record of the men and events, team by team, during the Major Leagues integration. It focuses on the owners, executives and managers who were the heroes, villains or spectators of integration, and it sheds new light on the unheralded champions of integration and on those whose harmful acts have so far been overlooked"--Provided by publisher.
