The remarkable story of Larry Doby, the first Black baseball player
in the American League. In 1947, Larry Doby signed with the
Cleveland Indians, becoming the first Black player in the American
leagues. He endured terrible racism, both from fans and his fellow
teammates. Despite this, he became a unifying force on and off the
field, and went on to become a seven-time All Star. Illustrated
with Cannaday Chapman's bold, stylized illustrations, this
exceptional biography tells the story of an unsung hero who not
only opened doors for those behind him, but set amazing records
during his Hall of Fame career. More significantly, it examines the
long fight to overcome racism in sports and our culture at large, a
fight that is far from over.
