(SPORTS--BASEBALL.) Negro Baseball 1946 Yearbook. Numerous illustrations. 32 pages. 4to, 11 x 8 1/2 inches, original red and black wrappers with photograph of Jackie Robinson in his Kansas City Monarchs uniform, minor wear; early owner's name and a small doodle of a baseball diamond on rear wrapper. Washington, DC: Sepia Sports, 1946

This yearbook features an article titled "Jackie and Johnny" on Jackie Robinson's arrival in the previously all-white professional ranks--a landmark achievement which also spelled the doom of the Negro Leagues. Other articles feature Smokey Joe Williams, Leon Day, Cumberland Posey, and Biz Mackey, who have since earned their own places in the Hall of Fame.
