Synopsis
Cleverly organized in chapters mimicking baseball innings, Kadir Nelson's stunningly illustrated history of Negro League baseball is not only thoughtful and historically fascinating, but full of lush artwork that brings the time period alive. Following players from the 1920s until Jackie Robinson joined the major leagues in the late 1940s, Nelson chronicles the immense challenges these brave men had to overcome in order to follow their passion. A 2009 Coretta Scott King Illustrator Honor Book, this stunner is also the winner of the 2009 Coretta Scott King Author Award and the 2009 Sibert Award.

Publisher's Note
Rich illustrations capture the excitement and thrills of the glory years of Negro League baseball in the early 1900s, profiling its star athletes, highlighting the challenges faced by the players, and the sacrifices made to live out their dreams and play the game they loved.

Industry reviews
"Along with being absolutely riveted by the art, readers will come away with a good picture of the Negro Leaguers' distinctive style of play, as well as an idea of how their excellence challenged the racial attitudes of both their sport and their times."
 (12/01/2007)

"riveting as the pictures are, though, Nelson matches them with a readaloud-worthy narration delivered in the voice of an imaginary player who's seen it all, live it all."
 (04/01/2008)

"[A] riveting picture book...[Nelson] conveys the humor, showmanship and joy that were an integral part of the game, without soft-soaping how hard it was...Nelson's visual narrative is nothing short of magnificent."
 (06/15/2008)

"Imagine listening to baseball legends Willie Mays and Ernie Banks swapping stories about their Negro League days as they sit in the stands, munching on peanuts and watching Ken Griffey Jr. launch a curve ball into the stratosphere. That kind of easygoing, conversational storytelling is exactly what Kadir Nelson achieves in this pitch-perfect history of Negro League baseball."
