Seller's Description:
Very good in Good jacket. xiii, [1], 418 pages. Illustrations. Notes. Bibliography. Index. Slight wear to DJ. DJ has small tear at top of rear flap. A University of Wisconsin law professor, Snyder teaches constitutional law, constitutional history, civil procedure, and sports law. He has published articles on constitutional history in the Vanderbilt Law Review, Notre Dame Law Review, Law and History Review, UC-Davis Law Review, and Boston College Law Review. Prior to teaching law, he worked as an associate at Williams and Connolly LLP and wrote two critically acclaimed books about baseball: A Well-Paid Slave: Curt Flood's Fight for Free Agency in Professional Sports and Beyond the Shadow of the Senators: The Untold Story of the Homestead Grays and the Integration of Baseball. The Homestead Grays (also known as Washington Grays or Washington Homestead Grays) were a professional baseball team that played in the Negro leagues in the United States. The Homestead Grays was the Negro League's most successful franchise. With their number-one team and a host of heroes, they transformed Washington, DC, into the front lines of the campaign to integrate major league baseball. The team was formed in 1912 by Cumberland Posey, and remained in continuous operation for 38 seasons. The team was originally based in Homestead, Pennsylvania, adjacent to Pittsburgh. By the 1920s the team played all home games in Pittsburgh. Josh Gibson returned to the Grays in 1937, combining with slugger Buck Leonard to power the Grays to nine consecutive (and a total of ten) Negro National League championships and three Negro League World Series titles. From 1940 until 1942, the Grays played half of their home games in Washington, D.C., while remaining in Pittsburgh for all other home stands. As attendance grew, by 1943, the Grays were playing more than two-thirds of their home games in Washington.
Very interesting and informative book about the old Negro Leagues and their relationship with the prejudices that existed when they were necessary. History taught in an interesting manner. pcg
