Description
This is a story of Josh Gibson, whom many consider to be one of the best players in baseball history. Josh's incredible feats remain largely unknown, however, for he played at a time when baseball, like much of America, was segregated by race. As told by a grandfather to his grandson, this beautifully illustrated tribute describes a magical day in Yankee Stadium many years ago when the Homestead Grays faced off against the Lincoln Giants in the Negro League Championship series. Legend has it that eighteen-year-old Josh Gibson hit a home run out of the ballpark that day - a feat that has never been equaled before or since. Readers of all ages will be touched by this special story of a heroic man whoovercame many challenges on his way to greatness. - from Amzon
