Book Synopsis Black Stats Matter by : Philip Lee

Download or read book Black Stats Matter written by Philip Lee and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2023-08-15 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than half a century, Black baseball players, barred from the Major Leagues by systemic racism, competed in leagues of their own. This book re-interprets the history of race in baseball from the ground up. It tells the story of how the Major Leagues became the "Caucasian Leagues," and names the person most responsible for their segregation; showing how Major League owners and executives tried to delay and even prevent integration; and proving, using a broad range of methods, that Negro League players were every inch the equals of their Major League counterparts. Cherished records held by white players since the days of segregation are shown to belong rightfully to Negro League superstars. This book takes a fresh look at a subject that's both straight from today's headlines and as old as baseball itself.
