{"product_id":"joe-cambria-paul-scimonelli-9781476681474","title":"Joe Cambria: International Super Scout of the Washington Senators","description":"\u003cp\u003e One of the most prolific scouts in baseball history, Joe Cambria almost single-handedly saved the Washington Senators from ruin. Signing a stream of young players from Cuba--as many as 20 per season for three decades--he fed the team affordable talent and kept them competitive during World War II, when many front-liners went to the front lines. Cambria subverted baseball's color line years before Jackie Robinson broke it, signing light-skinned Cubans--many of African descent--who could pass in the all-white Major Leagues. This first ever biography traces his memorable career, including the shady hiring practices and flamboyant deals that drew rulings from the bench of Kenesaw Mountain Landis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Scimonelli\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476681473\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476681474\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 03\/31\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.92h x 6.93w x 1.02d","brand":"Paul Scimonelli","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44071487013119,"sku":"9781476681474","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9ee0edad-9ee8-415c-a69c-880b888fafc4.jpg?v=1685436387","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/joe-cambria-paul-scimonelli-9781476681474","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
