Integrating the Orioles


For Baltimore fans looking for something interesting to read, I recommend Integrating the Orioles. I just finished reading it and it helps fill in the picture quite a bit. Many people have seen those great (IMO) Barry Levinson movies, seen Hairspray, watched the police shows set in Baltimore, followed the Story of Adnan Syed, seen The Keeper, etc. Baseball fans will also know that the Orioles of the late 1960s to early 1970s are one of greatest teams ever. This book helps to enlighten us as to how those teams got to be so great against a backdrop of other things going on in Baltimore, good and bad, during those days. It also goes forward to report on how things have changed. If any reads this book and lives in Baltimore, I would like hear your take on these things.
