Black Diamond: The Story of the Negro Baseball Leagues McKissack, Pat Scholastic December 1995 0-590-45810-8 / 9780590458108 Mass Mkt. P B Very Good This book goes far beyond the few familiar photographs and names most readers associate with the Negro Baseball Leagues, and it makes the trip in style. We discover, for example, that George Washington's troops were "battingballs and running bases" and that the nineteenth-century relationship between baseball and race was more diverse than many young readers may realize.The McKissacks carefully record the differences of opinion about some events and the difficulty of finding source material. Oral histories from surviving players add startling depth to descriptions of conditions of play and travel, and Jackie Robinson's entry into major league ball becomes a richerand more complicated moment because the authors show where Robinson came from (and how) in addition to where he went. A player roster will be helpfulto students, and a time line carefully weaves together the sports world andthe world of lynchings, race riots, the Civil War, and the incandescent electric lamp.
