Black Baseball in the Lost Season of 1932
University of Alabama Press
Aiello addresses long-held misunderstandings and misinterpretations of the Louisiana Monarchs black baseball team’s 1932 season.

He illuminates the culture-changing power of a baseball team and the importance of sport in cultural and social history.
