Black Barons of Birmingham - The South's Greatest Negro League Team and Its Players (Hardcover)

This book on the Birmingham Black Barons takes a unique approach to the history of a Negro League team and its players. The first half of the book emphasizes the accomplishments of both within the organized black leagues of the 1920s, the 1930s, and the years 1940 through 1947 (the year Robinson broke the color line). In the second half, the author changes tack, devoting chapters to the Black Barons of subsequent decades, the former Barons invited to Tryout Camps, others who were signed with minor league clubs, and the fortunate few who got their long-awaited chance at the major leagues.
