SIGNED BY PAUL BAUER, a book seller in Ohio and a friend of mine for more than 25 years. "Slow" played in the Negro Leagues for more than 20 years in both the US and Canada. He was not a star and thus this book is more typical of the experience of most Negro Leaguers. I have around 225 publications on the Negro Leagues and Black Sports and more than 200 signed sport (mostly baseball) books in stock. Discounts are available when you purchase multiple items on the same order.
