Queen of the Negro Leagues: First Post (First Impressions)
It's always funny when the author of a book states in the introduction that before beginning work on the book he or she knew absolutely nothing about the subject and didn't really care that much about it. I love that the author's wife was offended by the caption of Effa Manley's photograph in the Hall of Fame Museum and asked her husband to write about the truth about Mrs Manley. I always hate dismissive captions like that one and am glad that someone brought it up! I'm really excited about reading this book and hope that by the end of it I have a better understanding of what made Mrs Manley worthy of being in the Baseball Hall of Fame (as the only woman to date).
