About this book

Just Call Me Minnie: My Six Decades in Baseball by Fagen, Herb. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780915611904.

On May 1, 1951, a legend was born. Newly acquired Orestes Minoso, the first black to play Major League Baseball in the City of Chicago, stepped into the batters box for his first turn at bat in a Chicago White Sox uniform. Minnie tells of his boyhood days in the sugar fields of Cuba, racial discrimination in Cuban society, and feelings of betrayal upon being traded from the Cleveland Indians to the Chicago White Sox in 1951.
