Presents the history of Birmingham Black Barons, a Negro League team. This book emphasizes the accomplishments of both within the organized black leagues of the 1920s, the 1930s, and the years 1940 through 1947 (the year Robinson broke the color line).

A unique approach to the history of a Negro League team: The first half of this book covers the leagues and the players of the 1920s, the 1930s, and 1940 through 1947 (when Robinson broke the color barrier). The second half is devoted to the Black Barons of subsequent decades, the former Barons invited to tryout camps, others who were signed with minor league clubs, and the fortunate few who got their long-awaited chance in the majors.
