Likewise, when Heaphy and Riley do mention team owners Ed Gottlieb, Syd OUT OF LEFT FIELD: JEWS AND BLACK BASEBALL Pollack, and Abe Sapperstein, the few paragraphs the authors spend on the subjects Rebecca T. Alpert make no references to the men’s religious affiliations. Oxford University Press, 2011. 272 pp. $27.95 Out of Left Field is written in a scholarly fashion. Heavily footnoted, it offers an ISBN: 978-0195399004 extensive bibliography and provides in-depth analysis of the “complicated history” of black-Jewish relations, in addition to discussing black baseball. Alpert’s book will likely appeal more to academics and serious baseball historians than casual fans. Despite the effort it may require, Out of Left Field is a both a worthy read and a valuable addition to the bookshelf of Negro League and Jewish baseball fans.
