The Best Season - The First Ninety Games Bob May

How would twenty-one stars of the black ball era (Negro Leagues and independent black teams) like to be honored? I believe they would like to be honored in action on the playing field.



There are a significant number of great historical books published on the Negro League and its players. However, most of the evidence of their exploits on the field is anecdotal. Their play against the white ball players in the Major Leagues is against post-season barnstorming teams not in-season battles for first place! These twenty-one BB Stars (team name in book) deserve the opportunity to play the great Major League teams/players in organized competition.
