Sinopsis

In 1924, after the Hilldale Giants captured the league crown in the new Eastern Colored League and the Kansas City Monarchs won out in the four-year-old Negro National League, the two teams met in a best-of-nine series for the world championship. But a 13-inning tie in Game 4 and alternating wins throughout would force a tenth and deciding game, making it the longest World Series--black or white--in the modern era. This heavily illustrated volume provides a comprehensive account of the first championship series played between teams from two all-black professional leagues. It provides commentary, records, and full statistics for each club?s regular season performance, along with biographical profiles of the players. Coverage also includes position-by-position comparisons of the Series combatants, a breakdown of the attendance, gate receipts, and team shares, game-by-game summaries, comments from the players, and complete statistics--including pitcher-batter matchups--for both teams.
