This bundle includes the hardcover book “Black Baseball in Living Color: The Artwork of Graig Kreindler” and a mystery Negro Leagues Bobblehead. Black Baseball was played on a segregated basis from the nineteenth century through the mid-twentieth century. In 2020, Major League Baseball recognized seven Negro Leagues (1920 - 1948) as major leagues. This book explores the events and eras that shaped Black Baseball from the nineteenth century through the twenty-first century illustrated with nearly 240 color portraits painted by renowned sports artist Graig Kreindler. The importance of five players – James “Cool Papa” Bell, Andrew "Rube" Foster, Josh Gibson, Leroy “Satchel” Paige, and Jackie Robinson - is highlighted by focusing on their contributions to the sport and American society in five chapters written by different SABR authors. The portraits of the remaining players are grouped by the seven eras in which they played along with biographical data and a brief story about their career
