The journal of Biddy Owens
UGH. This one was not my favorite addition to this series. This is a book where you REALLY have to be into baseball to appreciate it. Baseball stats don't mean much to me so it made for a pretty dull read. I was hoping this one would focus more on the civil rights movement surrounding baseball at the time. They are mentioned but don't seem to be the prime focus.
