{"product_id":"frank-grant-richard-bogovich-9781476684604","title":"Frank Grant: The Life of a Black Baseball Pioneer","description":"\u003cp\u003e Widely considered the best black player of the 19th century, Hall-of-Famer Frank Grant challenged baseball's color barrier in the 1880s to play for all-white professional teams--two of which fought a legal battle for his services. This first full-length biography documents Grant's career highlights, including successful games against Major League teams and at-bats against Hall-of-Fame pitchers. Stories overlooked for more than a century are examined, including a falsified anecdote that obscured one of Grant's best games from history. New light is shed on the early years of the Cuban Giants, the first black pro ball club.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Bogovich\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 147668460X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476684604\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/17\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 287\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Richard Bogovich","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44065860976895,"sku":"9781476684604","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_aed75a0c-e06f-417b-9f1c-0df442f5bcc8.jpg?v=1685403924","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/frank-grant-richard-bogovich-9781476684604","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
