That was horrible. Lackadaisical.

Eh...that was a tough play. On a side note, Jeffrey Osborne has turned into Scatman Crothers.

Presley singles but Dominguez can't score on it. Presley stopped, then saw the throw home from right and is gunned down going to second.

So far, all this Civil Rights stuff is about black people. I'd like to hear a nod about the Japanese-American internment camps, if we're going to be doing a few hours of PR atonement.

Yeah, and how come Masanori Murakami's number hasn't been retired yet by all the teams?

A fair amount of books have been written in the last 20 years or so with some pretty decent detail. I've read a few, and recently finished a bio of Satchel Paige that was OK.

If you're reading about the Negro Leagues, there are two things that will help you to know going in.  (1) There were some great teams with some fantastic players.  The Homestead Greys and the Kansas City Monarchs were particularly great. (2)  The leagues were kind of randomly happenstance, mostly driven by owner economics.  It's organized baseball that was usually teetering on the edge of disorganization.
