Summary
A chronicle of the struggles and triumphs of the African-American and Latino players who followed Jackie Robinson into white professional baseball. Playing their minor-league ball in small, remote towns where racial segregation remained a fact of life well into the 1960s, these were the men who, before they could live their big-league dreams, first had to beat Jim Crow. "*González helps shatter the myth that baseball was an inviting place once [Jackie] Robinson debuted on the Dodgers in 1947*. - ***Remezcla.com***
