Synopsis

  3. For sports historians and sport sociologists
  4. Accessible for the general reader interested in baseball history
  5. Chatham Coloured All-Stars to be recognized by Canadian Sports Hall of Fame in 2022
  6. Another book on this team will be published in May 2023 but is for general reader and only follows their championship year. (Tentative title 1934: The Chatham Coloured All-Stars’ Barrier-Breaking Year) – not our book
