Details

From the author of Sisters in Arms comes the incredible, untold story of Effa Manley, a black businesswoman in the male dominated baseball industry, and, currently, the only woman inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.


1930s, New York City


An ambitious Harlem womans husband upends her social climbing when he buys a Negro Leagues baseball team and appoints her as the teams business manager. Overnight, Effa Manley goes from 125th Streets civil rights champion to an interloper in the boys club that is professional baseball.


Navigating her way through gentlemens agreement contracts, the very public flirtatious antics of superstar Satchel Paige, and a sports world that would much rather see this woman back in her place at home, Effa ultimately whips her team, the Newark Eagles, into the Negro Leagues Champions of 1946. But how long will she get to enjoy the fruits of her success before Major League Baseball tears it all apart?


Based on the incredible life of Effa Manley, an unforgettable and inspiring story about a woman with a dream who wound up with a baseball team.
