Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. It's the 1950's and a prize rookie breaks the color barrier in this major new novel. Fiction-but inspired by fact. Young, black Rick Rover had been painstakingly taught by his dad, Stretch, who had distinguished himself in the Black Leagues alongside Satchel Paige, Oscar Charleston and Smokey Joe Williams. But are the Yankees ready to have black man on their team? The front cover has a Reggie Jackson look alike, in good condition. Maybe the hardest baseball novel of the 1970-80s to find. I have over 200 baseball novels and mysteries and more than 250 publications on the Negro Leagues and Black Sports in stock. Discounts are available when you purchase multiple items on the same order. Seller Inventory # ABE-1614907815735
