| Zusammenfassung: | From 1936 to 1948, Manley ran the Negro league Newark Eagles that her husband, Abe, owned for roughly a decade. ... Not only a story of Manley's influence on the baseball world, The Most Famous Woman in Baseball vividly documents her social activism. Her life played out against the backdrop of the Jim Crow years, when discrimination forced most of Newark's blacks to live in the Third Ward, where prostitution flourished, housing was among the nation's worst, and only menial jobs were available. Manley and the Eagles gave African Americans a haven, Ruppert Stadium. She also proposed reforms at the Negro leagues' team owners' meetings, marched on picket lines, sponsored charity balls and benefit games, and collected money for the NAACP.-publisher description. |

Washington, D.C. : Potomac Books, [2011] ©2011 1 online resource (xii, 227 pages, 16 unnumbered pages of plates) : illustrations text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier From 1936 to 1948, Manley ran the Negro league Newark Eagles that her husband, Abe, owned for roughly a decade. ... Not only a story of Manley's influence on the baseball world, The Most Famous Woman in Baseball vividly documents her social activism. Her life played out against the backdrop of the Jim Crow years, when discrimination forced most of Newark's blacks to live in the Third Ward, where prostitution flourished, housing was among the nation's worst, and only menial jobs were available. Manley and the Eagles gave African Americans a haven, Ruppert Stadium. She also proposed reforms at the Negro leagues' team owners' meetings, marched on picket lines, sponsored charity balls and benefit games, and collected money for the NAACP.-publisher description. Includes bibliographical references and index. The lady makes a splash -- The Manleys come to baseball -- Abe trades Brooklyn for Newark -- Effa steps up -- Effa comes into her own -- Fireworks -- Cobbling together a lineup -- War comes to Newark -- The Eagles adapt to the war -- Branch Rickey drops the color bar -- A reunited team -- Striving for respectability -- Effa's life after the Eagles.
