Integrating Cleveland Baseball by Stephanie M Liscio
Focusing on the Negro American League Buckeyes, this detailed history describes the effects of major league integration on blackball in Cleveland, as well as the controversial role that the local black press played in the transformation. Included are historical photos, rosters for all Cleveland Negro League teams, and a list of the city's players in the annual East-West All-Star game.
