Simply a spectacular publication this 1946 issue of Negro Baseball is essentially a Negro Leagues yearbook. Featuring Jackie Robinson on the cover in his Monarchs uniform the interior pages are simply loaded with incredible photos and stories of players of color this extraordinarily high-grade piece is nearly impossible to write about without reading cover-to-cover. Articles include a memorial to Cum Posey an article about Jackie Robinson coverage of the East-West game photos of Roy Campanella Don Newcombe Roy Partlow Josh Gibson Sam Jethroe Quincy Troupe Buck Leonard Biz Mackey Satchel Paige a host of Negro League team photos and an incredible array of news and statistics. In EX-MT condition one of the finest publications of its time that we have seen either for research or display.
