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.
Modeled on Buck O’Neil, the philosophical “star” of Ken Burns’
documentary on American baseball, the good-natured, thoughtful
Moonbeam gets involved in solving the murder of another, younger
player, handsome, mysterious Buster Fenton, an ambitious home
run hitter with a future in the Major Leagues.
