INSCRIBED by DANNY JENNINGS. Baseball, along with boxing were the two most popular sports in the inner-city. Today, American born blacks represent approximately 80% of the NBA and 70% of the NFL, while representing only 7.7% of the MLB. This is no coincidence according to JENNINGS, "This is the result of strategic design." Reginald Howard is a former Negro Leagues player who was with the Indianapolis Clowns. A thought provoking book, published in a very limited printing. The book is in good condition, the covers have some wrinkles. I have more than 240 publications on the Negro Leagues and Black Sports and around 170 signed sports books (mostly baseball) in stock. Discounts are available when you purchase multiple items on the same order.

About this title

Synopsis

This project was created to raise the awareness of past practices that have lead to a regression regarding the racial equity in baseball, and to ignite a movement that’ll spark a new found interest and respect for baseball in the inner-city, while petitioning baseball and positioning ourselves to remove those subtle, as well as obvious barriers that have discouraged the participation of American Born Blacks. This book was heavily influenced by my relationship and the contributions of former Negro Leagues player, Reginald Howard who has become a friend, mentor and an educational inspiration in my life. As a player, coach and advocate of the game of baseball, my passion and experiences have encouraged me to be a proactive voice in the name of Black Baseball and a presence that seeks a boost in the demographics as it relates to racial disparity.
