The Negro League Baseball players are the brave African American men who played a sport they loved, baseball. These men made it possible for players like Jackie Robinson to have a chance in the major leagues. Despite all their struggles, these men opened up the door for others to follow.
Nelson's plot of the importance of the Negro League Baseball players is mentioned throughout the nook. Nelson's careful attention to sharing how each player had an impact on the integration of the baseball league despite all the challenges they faced is important to the plot of the story.
