Not long before baseball and cultural icon broke the Major League Baseball color barrier, he was a known star in the Negro Leagues. Naturally the Negro Leagues had their own press and publications to serve their fan base.
Offered here is a stunning 1946 issue with our hero looking regal on the cover, setting the stage for more mainstream greatness ahead when he eventually donned a Brooklyn Dodgers uniform.
The inside of the publication is a baseball historian's delight as well, as many future baseball legends are noted, with the pending integration looming.
