There's no denying that the seven year span between 1977-1983 was one of the darkest in New York Mets history.

This book traces the history of the league from the early days of professional Black baseball and the formation of leagues to post-integration decline.

After the 1969 season, the St. Louis Cardinals traded their star center fielder, Curt Flood, to the Philadelphia Phillies, setting off a chain of events that would change professional sports forever.
