"This is a story about the struggles and determination black baseball players experienced when deprived of their enthusiasm to play baseball in the major leagues. Until Jackie Robinson signed with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947, the infamous "gentleman's agreement" barred black players from major leagues. Highlights Dennis Biddle and his struggle to play baseball and the history of the Negro League, 1920-1960.
