Cracks in the Outfield Wall

“Holaday’s book does a masterful job of showing how America’s game, whether grassroots or professional play, was defined by and often adhered to the racial hierarchy of US society. . . . What makes Cracks in the Outfield Wall so compelling is that Holaday gives nuance to civil rights history through regional play as well as challenges the framework of a traditional historical monograph. . . . [A] critical regional roadmap for how to study and understand racial integration and the civil rights struggle more broadly.”—Journal of Sport History
