Reviews

"Russell Buhite makes a significant contribution to the rapidly growing scholarly work on baseball's past." - Charles C. Alexander, author of Breaking the Slump: Baseball in the Depression Era "Russell Buhite, a former Minor League baseball player and an accomplished historian, is well equipped to provide this entertaining, informative, insightful, and personal account of Branch Rickey's abortive Continental League." - James Giglio, Distinguished Professor of History Emeritus at Missouri State University and author of Musial: From Stash to Stan the Man
