Moonbeam in my pocket

"Here is a sports-mystery novel about the Negro League, taking place in 1946 and narrated by the main character, Carl "Moonbeam" Slyder, second baseman for the fictional Jersey City Bluebirds ... the novel reviews racial attitueds of the 1940's as the Major Leagues are about to be integrated ... Comedy and baseball action mix with the serious theme of lost talent in a world that failed to appreciate the black ball player --- symbolic of the racial situation in general."--Back cover.
