+ Want to read

""A serious and illuminating study of race, color and ethnicity in pre-World War I America. ... [t]he Travelers ... used baseball to prove themselves and to break down barriers and prejudices. Franks brings to life an important and neglected history of the period, the team, and its players. Highly recommended"—Rob Elias"—Provided by publisher.
