Examining the social and historical context of Robinson's introduction into white organized baseball, both\u003cbr\u003eon and off the field, Tygiel also tells the often neglected stories of other African-American players--such as Satchel Paige, Roy Campanella, Willie Mays, and Hank Aaron--who helped transform our national pastime into an integrated game. Drawing on dozens of interviews with players and front office\u003cbr\u003eexecutives, contemporary newspaper accounts, and personal papers, Tygiel provides the most telling and insightful account of Jackie Robinson's influence on American baseball and society. The anniversary issue features a new foreword by the author.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJules Tygiel\u003c\/strong\u003e, a native of Brooklyn, is Professor of History at San Francisco State University and founder of the Pacific Ghost League.
