Southern League: A True Story of Baseball, Civil Rights, and the Deep South's Most Compelling Pennant Race Hardcover - 2013

by Larry Colton

In 1964, in Birmingham, Alabama--perhaps the epicenter of racial conflict--the Barons amazingly started their season with an integrated team. Colton traces the entire season, writing about the extraordinary relationships among players. He tells their story by capturing the essence of Birmingham and its citizens during this tumultuous year.
