Reviews
"Considered by many to be one of the greatest outfielders of all time, Pete Hill is sadly also one of the least known early Black Hall of Famers. Here Bob Luke chronicles Hill's well-traveled, pioneering career, placing emphasis on the times--with race riots, pandemic, Prohibition, and early battles for civil rights forming the backdrop. Anyone interested in Hill, pre-Negro Leagues competition, or the Negro Leagues of the early 1920s should have this book on their shelf."--Barry Sparks, author of Frank "Home Run" Baker: World Series Hero and Hall of Famer, "Author Bob Luke makes another valuable contribution to African American baseball history. Anyone interested in knowing more about Pete Hill, pre-Negro League competition and the Negro Leagues fan of the early 1920s, should have this book on their shelf."--Barry Sparks, author of Frank "Home Run" Baker: World Series Hero and Hall of Famer, "The great ballplayers of the Negro leagues labored behind a curtain of obscurity, racism, and neglect. Bob Luke has done an admirable job of clearing away the cobwebs and putting the career of Pete Hill into sharp relief against the texture of his times. Early Black players such as Hill are notoriously difficult to research, and this book is the most complete accounting of his life anyone has produced."--Gary Ashwill, Agate Type blog and the Seamheads Negro Leagues Database
