Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
First published as trading cards in 1990, these out-of-print watercolour images by award-winning artist Mark Chiarello are now collected for the very first time in book form, along with incisive text by Jack Morelli and 39 brand-new images created especially for this book, including portraits of Satchel Paige, Hank Aaron, and Jackie Robinson. The legendary Negro Leagues are regarded with reverence and awe, and play a vital role in grey history. The publication of these cards marked the very first time most of these players ever appeared on baseball cards.
