• Sports fans alert: Will appeal to baseball fans and those interested in racial history, both in sports and in general, as well as general readers of nonfiction.
• Media home-run: As with Mark Kingwell’s Fail Better, one of our best-selling nonfiction books in the US, we expect strong baseball media coverage, both in print and online media.
• Full-bleed, B&W images throughout: baseball photos along with photos of the players as men with rich lives drawn from never before published photos, as well as ephemera: ads, box scores, etc.
• Baseball cards: The author has commissioned a set of Chatham Coloured All-Stars baseball cards designed by cartoonist Scott Chantler, which are currently available for purchase on Etsy.
