Pitching for the Stars - My Seasons across the Color Line (Hardcover)

The author of the memoir Our White Boy tells his story for younger readers: in 1959 Carl Sedberry, team manager of the Wichita Falls/Graham Stars successfully recruits their first white player, pitcher Jerry Craft. During the next two years, the team plays baseball together in the West Texas Colored League while listening to their manager's observations about sports and life, experiences that will change them forever. Craft relates an unlikely story of respect, character, humor, and ultimately friendship with Mr. Sedberry and his boys as the teammates pulled together to succeed in a game they all loved.
