Book Review of Black Diamond: The Story of the Negro Baseball Leagues

Black Diamond: The Story of the Negro Baseball Leagues
JenHouse avatar reviewed on


This is an excellent historical account that covers the period from the late 1800s through Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier. The book has many photographs and newspaper articles to illustrate the players. Both of my boys (one a baseball player, one not) enjoyed reading this book, which is a Coretta Scott King Honor Book.
