Reviews for A Negro League Scrapbook
8 ratings1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A Negro League Scrapbook is a dizzying array of pictures, stories and statistics from baseball's Negro League. There's a funny quote by Leroy "Satchel" Paige, the Negro League's highest-paid player and a legendary pitcher: "Just take the ball and throw it where you want to. Throw strikes. Home plate don't move." But the book also chronicles a sad time in U.S. history. The only reason the Negro League existed is because of segregation, and players were forced to sleep and eat sandwiches on their bus if the town did not have a black hotel or restaurant. This book would be a good way to interest young male readers while giving them a history lesson.
