Out of Left Field: Jews and Black Baseball
Alpert, Rebecca T. (Associate Professor of Religion and Women's Studies, Associate Professor of Religion and Women's Studies, Temple University)
Here is an eye-opening look at one of baseball's most intriguing and little known stories: the many-faceted relationship between Jews and black baseball in Jim Crow America. In Out of Left Field, Rebecca Alpert explores how Jewish sports entrepreneurs, political radicals, and a team of black Jews called the Belleville Grays made their mark on the segregated world of the Negro Leagues.
