How could the sport that gave us Jackie Robinson become so
irrelevant to Black America just a few decades later? While the NFL
and NBA have risen triumphantly on the wings of great
African-American athletes, baseball finds itself left in the dust.
It was the likes of Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, and Bob Gibson that
fueled baseball's growth, but such premium Black athletes have long
since fled to football and basketball. Baseball is the only sport
to become slower and less athletic since the early 1980s; its
television ratings sinking to new lows with every season. More than
ever, baseball needs Black America to reinvigorate its sport both
on the field and in the turnstiles. Former major league scout Anup
Sinha spent much of his career investigating the causes of
baseball's "black-out" which is exposed for all in Curse of the
Black Bambino. This book is loaded with new research and the
additional insight of players, coaches, scouts, and league
executives. Sinha weaves both the historical and the anecdotal to
illustrate the genesis of the issue at large. Included is a
surefire plan to reclaim African-American athletes and take the
sport to new heights in both entertainment value and popularity.
