by: Epplin, Luke

Hardcover. NY, Flatiron Books, 2nd pr., 2021, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright, unclipped dust jacket, 389 pages. Traces the story of the integration of the Cleveland Indians and their quest for a World Series title through four key participants-all members of Baseball's Hall of Fame. They were Bill Veeck, the eccentric and visionary owner of the team; Larry Doby, a soft-spoken hard-hitting pioneer who shattered stereotypes that many Americans had of black ballplayers; ace pitcher Bob Feller who set the template for the athlete as businessman; and Satchel Paige, legendary pitcher from the Negro Leagues too long excluded from professional baseball because of his skin color.
