Summary "Part historical fiction, part memoir, this novel takes place over a 10 week period in the summer of 1956 in a small town in the mid-west. It is based on a true story of the social and athletic achievements of an eleven-man mixed-race baseball team. Under the leadership of an aging, charismatic African-American manager, the Brown Bombers tolerate the nearness of racism as part of the price they pay for the privilege of playing the game they love. However, the game itself offers a focus on comfort quite apart from the dialy lives of this diverse group of young men as they strive to perfet their baseball skills."--Provided by publisher
