Synopsis

This book investigates racial and religious prejudice in the United States, particularly within the context of sports. The author, a sports columnist, draws from his experiences observing a softball game between a Chicago sandlot crew made up of whites, Negroes, and Japanese. The book argues that America's sports culture demonstrates that a person's value is measured by their actions and not by their race or religion. The author also argues that discrimination is expensive and wasteful, and that it is ultimately counterproductive to the success of any team or organization. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of race and sports in America, and it offers important insights into the ongoing struggle for racial equality.
