Title: The Definitive Work on an Important Team
Review: DeBono's book joins "Fair Dealing & Clean Playing" (history of the Hilldale club) in the realm of near-perfect Negro leagues team histories.Anyone who decides to research Negro leagues history dons the pith hat and shovel of an archeologist. DeBono takes to the task well unearthing historical gems from the pages of previously unexplored newspaper archives. He also takes considerable care to delve into the relationship between the team and the community.This extensively sourced and well-referenced text is indepensible for Negro leagues historians but would appeal on some level to those with a more casual interest in black baseball history.
