The Negro Southern League
The Negro Southern League was a baseball minor league that operated off and on from 1920 to 1951. It served as a valuable feeder system to the Negro National League and the Negro American League. A number of NNL and NAL stars got their start in the NSL, among them five Hall of Famers including Satchel Paige and Willie Mays.

This book is a narrative history of the league from its inception with eight teams in major Southern cities until its demise three decades later.
