In July 1947, months after Jackie Robinson crossed the color line that had segregated Major League Baseball, Larry Doby would follow in his footsteps on the Cleveland Indians. Tracing the story of the integration of the team and their quest for a World Series title, Luke Epplin profiles Doby and three other key participants: eccentric and visionary owner Bill Veeck; Iowa pitching prodigy Bob Feller, who set the template for the athlete as businessman; and legendary Negro Leagues pitcher Satchel Paige, whose belated entry into the majors whipped baseball fans across the country into a frenzy.
