What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Weatherford has collected a wealth of information and memorabilia from the earliest days through the Leagues’ demise in 1963…. one doesn’t need to be a baseball fan to be fascinated.” —Kirkus Reviews
“An engaging overview, richly augmented by archival photographs… this title succeeds as a thoughtful introduction, capturing both the significance of the Negro Leagues and the accomplishments of its great players.” —School Library Journal
“Public and school libraries will want to add this to their collections, as material on the Negro Leagues is fairly scarce for this age group.” —Library Media Connection
