This history of Black baseball runs a chronological course from the mid-19th century to the present day. It's narrated by a cast led by JD Jackson, whose calming tone fits well. Occasionally, he changes his voice when quoting someone--always keeping within the character. The audiobook includes passages delivered by two other narrators--a good choice, since these sidebars are related to, but broken out from, their corresponding chapters. Golden Voice Jackson is adept at nonfiction narration, and he enhances this historical dive into a critical part of baseball--and American, for that matter--history. He solidly narrates a comprehensive treatment of an interesting topic. M.B. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2025]
