About this Book

"100 years ago, 1920, the Negro National League (NNL) of Professional Baseball Clubs was established as a viable option for professional Black athletes barred from the all-white Major Leagues. We observe this Centennial event with a reference guide listing more than 7,000 players, owners and executives. This volume provides all-time rosters of World Series and East-West all-star participants; National Hall of Famers by cities and teams; Uniform numbers; Military service; Colleges attended; Burial sites; Post-career Honors and Tributes, with a special section on Women in Black Baseball."--T.p. 4
