Monte Irvin
Baseball Hall of Famers of the Negro Leagues
Monte Irvin was a baseball prodigy who was recruited into the Negro leagues at age seventeen. Although he was finally allowed into the major leagues, he had passed his prime, and most of America never witnessed his awesome talent on the diamond. This book describes the trials and joys endured by Negro league players and the difficulties they faced when integration finally hit major league baseball.

Series Review--"This series will be a valuable addition to school and public collections appealing to students with an interest in baseball, but also readable for students interested in history or discrimination."
