Description

An Irishman's Tribute to the Negro Leagues is the first in a trilogy of "Irishman's Tributes" by Thomas Porky McDonald. In it, the long ago world of Negro League Baseball is celebrated on factual, fictional and emotional platforms. Profiles of over fifty former Negro Leaguers pay homage to the wondrous game they played. Two handfuls of Tallman Tales, McDonald's unique short stories, use the days of all-black baseball as a backdrop for some heartfelt characters that desperately seek entrance to a legendary Era otherwise lost in time. Interspersed within the profiles and tales is a small collection of McDonald's trademark baseball poetry, pieces that will doubtless make you think, hopefully make you feel, and often entertain you. In attempting to re-create the feelings of joy and pride that all the participants in the Negro Leagues experienced, despite the constant travails they encountered in pursuit of their livelihood, McDonald, as the "Irishman", deftly doffs his cap in obvious appreciation for an enlightening time of dogged and determined magic. An Irishman's Tribute to the Negro Leagues precedes Over the Shoulder and Plant on One: An Irishman's Tribute to Willie Mays and Hit Sign, Win Suit: An Irishman's Tribute to Ebbets Field, two future volumes that celebrate McDonald's own childhood and the days of Major League baseball in Brooklyn, which, like the Negro Leagues, are long gone in a concrete sense, but not in a spiritual one.
