New coaches, a name change (to the Granite Rocks) and even 'Black Cat Night at Granite Falls Stadium' cannot turn things around. When Bobby finds an unhittable 'Cuban' pitcher is really an American born black man, he struggles with the unfairness of "Whites Only" baseball.Publishers Weekly called the book 'beguiling.' "There are some very pleasant moments (and perhaps even a Denzel Washington movie) in this novel ... based on the incredible true story of the worst team in Baseball History that became the first Southern team to break the color barrier."
