"Lester highlights black baseball's leading event, the East-West All-Star Game, which was held for just over two decades. His volume contains a fine chapter on Gus Greenlee, the visionary owner of the Pittsburgh Crawfords . . . . Essential for baseball aficionados and public libraries."--Library Journal., Lester has assembled 20 years of headlined articles, photos, game stats and league records into a sort of Negro Leagues all-star game almanac-a year-by-year reconstruction of every East-West game from 1933 to 1953, with Lester''s own historical notes offering context for each year''s entries. . . . There is an authentic, time capsule quality about Lester''s collection and more than enough raw stats to fuel hot stove leagues across the country for many an evening."-Publishers Weekly, "Lester highlights black baseball''s leading event, the East-West All-Star Game, which was held for just over two decades.

Synopsis
The verdict is in. Whatever the deficiencies of the black baseball leagues as a source of reliable statistics, no one now doubts that when the best black players assembled for the annual East-West games, which for a generation paralleled the white All-Star games, the concentration of ability on the field was second to none. This work brings together for the first time the painstakingly assembled history of those games, including reconstructed play-by-plays and accurate statistical records. Larry Lester recaptures the vigor of black communities' united attention to the event, describes the players whose talent brought them to this pinnacle of achievement, and discusses the maneuvers of promoters, gamblers, and petty tyrants who cast an occasional shadow on the sunlit fields of Chicago., The verdict is in.
