Book Review: ONLY THE BALL WAS WHITE
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very good book to read. The title of the book tell a whole lot about the book. Stories told through the book tells about the hard times African Americans faced in the earlier years of baseball. The book also tells how African Americans overcame the adversity that their skin color put them in. The book also makes you wonder were would baseball be if African Americans had the same chances as white people.
