All Star: How Larry Doby Smashed the Color Barrier in Baseball
Autor Audrey Vernick Ilustrat de Cannaday Chapmanen Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 ian 2022 – vârsta până la 7 ani
In 1947, Larry Doby signed with the Cleveland Indians, becoming the first Black player in the American leagues. He endured terrible racism, both from fans and his fellow teammates. Despite this, he became a unifying force on and off the field, and went on to become a seven-time All Star. Illustrated with Cannaday Chapman’s bold, stylized illustrations, this exceptional biography tells the story of an unsung hero who not only opened doors for those behind him, but set amazing records during his Hall of Fame career. More significantly, it examines the long fight to overcome racism in sports and our culture at large, a fight that is far from over.
