This book is both controversial and gripping as it traces the policies of the 70-year dynasty of the Yawkey family as well as a conflicted press that wrestled with the racial issues-against the backdrop of Boston's own difficult struggles with race issues. First Edition with all numbers from 1 to 10 present. Both the non price clipped Dust Jacket and the book are in very good condition. I have over 250 books on the Negro Leagues and Black Sports and more than 60 items on the Boston Red Sox teams and players. Discounts available when you purchase multiple items on the same order.

About this title

Synopsis

Shut Out is the compelling story of Boston's racial divide viewed through the lens of one of the city's greatest institutions - its baseball team, and told from the perspective of Boston native and noted sports writer Howard Bryant. This well written and poignant work contains striking interviews in which blacks who played for the Red Sox speak for the first time about their experiences in Boston, as well as groundbreaking chapter that details Jackie Robinson's ill-fated tryout with the Boston Red Sox and the humiliation that followed.
