Non-Fiction Biography
The Kansas City Monarchs. The Chicago American Giants. The
St. Louis Stars. The Newark Eagles. The Birmingham Black
Barons. The Homestead Grays. The Cuban X Giants. For over 50
years, they were the Yankees, Cardinals, and Red Sox of
black baseball in America. And for over a decade beginning
in the mid-1940s, umpire Bob Motley called balls and strikes
for their games, earning the opportunity to work with such
legends as Satchel Paige, Hank Aaron, Ernie Banks, and
Willie Mays. Today, Motley is the only living Negro League
arbiter, and Ruling Over Monarchs, Giants & Stars is his
revealing, humorous memoir.
