Description

Charter members of the Negro National League, stepping stone for Jackie Robinson, home base for Satchel Paige, and coaching ground for more than twenty blacks sent to the foremost leagues, the Kansas Town Monarchs survived all of the thirty-five-year span of black baseball (from 1920 to mid 1950) and were widely considered the dominant black skilled team, “the New York Yankees of the Negro leagues.” Wealthy in anecdote and illustrated with more than ninety images of Monarchs players and scenes, this book is both a tribute to and a birthday party of the highest all-black team of all time.
