It is a lively story of raucous fans, local heroes, and men who loved the game and were willing to play for nickels."--BOOK JACKET.

Setting his story within the context of the times, he also discusses some of the teams that the local heroes competed against, including the famous New York Celtics (the original Celtics) and the gifted Harlem Rens (the first all-black professional team)."--Jacket
