Author Keith Wood and the Memphis Red Sox, Part Two

In Part Two of our talk, author Keith Wood continues discussing the Memphis Red Sox with me. His work brings out the financially-stable Martin brothers, the location of Martin Park, and how politics shaped Negro League baseball in Memphis.

I hope you will listen as Keith takes us through a time of both turmoil and stability but also gives us a glimpse of how things were when pride in the local Black baseball team gave the community something to cheer about, shaped by not only leaders like Martin Luther King, Jr., but also the Martins brothers!
