Black Stats Matter - Integrating Negro League Numbers into Major League Records

Summary

For more than half a century, Black baseball players, barred from the Major Leagues by systemic racism, competed in leagues of their own. This book re-interprets the history of race in baseball from the ground up, telling the story of how the Major Leagues became the ‘Caucasian Leagues’.
