Nearo Williams Jr.'s passion for baseball and life is told in this story written and dedicated by his sister, Cindy. His dreams included playing for the Negro Leagues Baseball (NLB) and MLB.  Baseball enthusiasts may be familiar with the MLB but not the NLB.  

This league was also a part of American History with many men and quite a few women ball players that were not allowed to play in the MLB at the time.  Click on the image below to learn more about other players from the NLB  before meeting this talented author at her New Jersey book signing.
