Overview

You have heard about Hank Aaron, but what about his cousin Wilmer? Why did Wilmer, an elite second baseman, never make the Major Leagues despite a strong pedigree and excellent performance throughout his Minor League career? In this book, we explore the careers of various people involved in baseball who have struggled due to their race, socio-economic background, sexuality or gender.

Contained inside are interviews with 1971 MVP/Cy Young Winner Vida Blue, the first female coach in MLB history Justine Siegal, Gay baseball pioneer Billy Bean, the son of the great Cardinal who ushered in free agency Curt Flood, 10 year MLB veteran Terry Whitfield and Hank Aaron's cousin Wilmer Aaron. Each of these baseball insiders provides a different perspective on the game and the pathway players take on their way to the MLB.
