Yet there is a triumphant, and pivotal, narrative from those fraught years that has long been overlooked: the story of the 1948 Cleveland Indians. This team featured two black players, Larry Doby and Satchel Paige, and in only the second year of integrated baseball, they won a championship. These two men represent different facets of the African-American experience. Doby, a young WWII veteran whose parents had been part the Great Migration, integrated the American League only 11 weeks after Robinson. He suffered the same indignities (as he recalled, "Nobody said we're going to be nice to the second black"), but never received the aura of legend that could come only from being first. Paige meanwhile was a legend in his own time, an Alabama gardener's son who became the greatest pitcher in Negro League history. When signed by the Indians to help lead them to the playoffs, he was forty-two, the oldest rookie ever. These two compelling figures are at the center of a baseball story that also includes the owner of the Indians, Bill Veeck, the most colorful owner in baseball, and the Hall of Fame pitcher (and complicated human) Bob Feller. For readers of David Halberstam, Bill James, and Roger Angell, here is a new baseball classic.
