    • Abstract:
      Summary: "An ambitious Harlem woman's husband upends her social climbing when he buys a Negro Leagues baseball team and appoints her as the team's business manager. Overnight, Effa Manley goes from 125th Street's civil rights champion to an interloper in the boys' club that is professional baseball. Navigating her way through gentlemen's agreement contracts, the very public flirtatious antics of superstar Satchel Paige, and a sports world that would much rather see this woman back in her 'place' at home, Effa ultimately whips her team, the Newark Eagles, into the Negro Leagues Champions of 1946"--Provided by publisher.
