(4) 4-6 Craft relates his experiences during two summer seasons in the late 1950s playing semi-pro baseball as the only white player in the West Texas Colored League. Though the writing is unpolished, Craft recounts with immediacy both game moments and his unusual journey to overcome his own prejudices as well as those of his teammates and opponents. Vintage photographs add interest. Bib.
