0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A Look at How Baseball Opened DoorsBy Mary S. PalmerUsing authentic research; Formichella paints a perfect picture of how one person can change the world. By influencing a group of young black American boys; that's exactly what Jesse Norwood did in "fifteen minutes of baseball and forty-five minutes of life." This author clearly demonstrates an understanding of people of a race different from his own.Mary S. Palmer; author of GEORGE WALLACE: AN ENIGMA and ten other books
