"From about 1890 until 1947 major-league baseball was closed to blacks and Latinos, but that didn't keep these players out of the game. The best of them - and they were as good as the best major-leaguers - formed their own teams and then their own leagues. This is the story of those teams - the Black Yankees, the Homestead Grays, the Kansas City Monarchs, and others - and of the men who played on them." - publisher.
