Metuchen: The Scarecrow Press, 1993. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. First edition. Octavo. 297pp. Illustrated plates. Fine in near fine dustwrapper with a little sunning and a crease on the front flap. Inscribed by the author. Additionally Signed by two of the Newark Eagles: "Skinner Belfield. Newark Eagles. Catcher 46-48." and "James A. Walker. Newark, N.J. Newark Eagles 1940-41" An account of Effa Manley, who with her husband Abe Manley owned and operated the Negro League team, the Newark Eagles. According to most sources Effa Manley's racial background is murky. Her biological parents may have been white but she was raised by her black stepfather and her mother. In any case Manley self-identified as black, and was active in the Civil Rights Movement. Effa ran the team, becoming the first female chief executive officer of a major baseball team. Prominent players on the team included several Hall of Famers and other greats including Ray Dandridge, Larry Doby, Monte Irvin, Mule Suttles, and Don Newcombe. Manley became the first and only woman to date to have been inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
