The authors have an engaging style, which effectively mixes scholarly research with clear prose to develop the narrative. -Charlie Bevis, author of Red Sox vs. Braves in Boston; When Baseball Met Big Bill Haywood should be of great interest both to labor historians and baseball historians, particularly those who enjoy the history of New England. --Krister Swanson, author of Baseball's Power Shift: How the Players Union, the Fans, and the Media Changed American Sports Culture
