Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In the 1950s and 60s, in Brooklyn, most homes contained a special place that is now pretty much extinct: the stoop, the steps that were the entranceway to the two-family and four-family homes that comprised that neighborhood. But it was so much more.It was where you hung out with your best friends, from the time you were first allowed to 'go out and play.' It was a place you listened to the radio play the songs you knew all the lyrics to. It was your 'home field' for game of stoopball. It was where you sat to watch the stars and tried to find the Big Dipper. It was where all the neighborhoods got together on hot summer nights to eat Italian Ices because the non-air conditioned apartments were just too hot. It was where you became 'blood brothers' with your best friend, and shared stories with him that you wouldn't tell anybody else. It was where you first fell in love, with the childhood sweetheart you you would never forget. And it was a place where stories of all those events and more were shared from generation to generation. This book brings back the magic of all of those special moments and more, through the eyes and memory of a boy who grew up in east New York, Brooklyn, at a time where the stoop was so much more than a set of steps.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - For most of the first half of the twentieth century, African-Americans were excluded from Organized Baseball. But their love of the game, and their desire to play could not be denied. Despite that ban, 'blackball' was being played in just about every cow pasture and field available throughout the country. Black players criss-crossed the country in Negro League games and on barnstorming tours, bringing baseball to places where the Major Leagues never dreamed of going. Many gifted athletes never got the chance to compete in the Majors, until the door was finally opened in 1947 with the signing of Jackie Robinson and Larry Doby. Once given that chance to compete, African-Americans showed the country that they were deserving of the opportunity. Many became superstars, but, on the mound, only 13 African-Americans ever reached the magic plateau of twenty wins in a season. This book tells the story of those thirteen men and a few of their predecessors, the obstacles they faced, and the determination they showed to succeed. But it is a story about so much more than just baseball. Against the backdrop of their grit and determination, it reflects the story of all African-American baseball players through the creation of the Negro Leagues, the evolution of the game, and the parallel integration of baseball and America.…
