{"product_id":"the-integration-of-major-league-rick-swaine-9780786469352","title":"The Integration of Major League Baseball: A Team by Team History","description":"\u003cp\u003e This book is a record of the men and events, team by team, during Major League Baseball's integration. It focuses especially on the owners, executives and managers who were the heroes, villains or spectators of integration, and it sheds new light on the unheralded champions of integration and on those whose culpability has so far been overlooked. Individual chapters cover each of baseball's integration-era teams, and a final chapter covers expansion teams of the 1960s. Each team's responsible individuals are examined, its acquisition, deployment and treatment of black players documented, and the effect of its integration actions on team performance analyzed. Appendices provide populations of integration-era Major League cities, first black players by team, first black players in various minor leagues, rosters of black players by team, a timeline of black player milestones, and a list of black All-Star selections through 1969.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rick Swaine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786469358\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786469352\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 05\/09\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 279\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 6.90w x 0.80d","brand":"Rick Swaine","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48483686678783,"sku":"9780786469352","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6f933560-474d-43dd-b5d3-e9b7c877dc89.jpg?v=1778040004","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-integration-of-major-league-rick-swaine-9780786469352","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
