“Nathanson (law, Villanova Univ.), who has authored biographies of Jim Bouton and Dick Allen and books on other baseball-related subjects, serves in this volume as the “curator” of the personal histories of 13 Black players who spent careers ranging from 1 to 16 years in Minor League Baseball during the 1960s and 1970s. . . .
