Celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the Negro Leagues with updates
and additions throughout! The Kansas City Monarchs, the Chicago
American Giants, the St. Louis Stars, the Birmingham Black Barons,
the Homestead Grays, and the Indianapolis Clowns; for over fifty
years, they were the Yankees, Cardinals, and Red Sox of black
baseball in America. And for over a decade beginning in the late
1940s, umpire Bob Motley called balls and strikes for many of their
games, working alongside such legends as Satchel Paige, Hank Aaron,
Ernie Banks, and Willie Mays. Today, Motley is the only living
arbiter from the Negro Leagues. His personal account of the Negro
Leagues is a revealing, humorous, and unforgettable memoir
celebrating a long-lost league and a remarkable group of baseball
players. In this brand new 100-year anniversary edition of Ruling
Over Monarchs, Giants, and Stars, Motley and his son Byron share
the characters, adventures, and challenges faced by these amazing
men as they enthusiastically embraced America's pastime and made it
their own. Filled with stories of talented heroes, small miracles,
and downright fun, this unique memoir is a must-read for any
baseball fan.
