{"product_id":"josh-gibson-hallie-murray-9781978510524","title":"Josh Gibson: Catcher and Power Hitter","description":"Josh Gibson, sometimes known as the black Babe Ruth for his skill at bat, was a power hitter and catcher in the Negro Leagues. He played on the Homestead Grays and Pittsburgh Crawfords between 1930 and 1946. Gibson died tragically from a brain tumor in 1947, just months before Jackie Robinson broke the baseball color barrier. Though he was never able to join an MLB team due to discrimination, Gibson is often considered to have been one of the best catchers and sluggers in baseball's history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hallie Murray\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1978510527\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781978510524\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Enslow Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/30\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.30d","brand":"Hallie Murray","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486605291775,"sku":"9781978510524","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b28d46f2-f13b-4149-b743-f31225e72e04.jpg?v=1778056032","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/josh-gibson-hallie-murray-9781978510524","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
