Buck O'Neil once described him as "Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, and Tris Speaker rolled into one". Among experts, he is regarded as the best player in Negro Leagues history. During his prime, he became a legend in Cuba and one of Black America's most popular figures. Yet even among serious sports fans, Oscar Charleston is virtually unknown today.

I feel this is one of the most important books covering baseball from it’s beginning to the present, in that someone like Oscar Charleston who is so important to the rich history of baseball & American sports in general, is getting the recognition he deserves as being one of America’s greatest overall athletes.
He was baseball’s greatest players’ favorite player, & garnered supreme & unquestioned respect from the most close minded, myopic, pompous, arrogant, & imperious baseball writers’ favorite players.
So grateful & inspired to have come across this book.
