I was just referencing your "crimes of thought" comment and just said they were crimes of action, not an actual crime, just him being a horrible racist.
The book elaborates on his hatred of minorities and what led him to that ideology and the situation with Walker and how that shaped baseball.
That book is also an audiobook with a great narrator, I highly recommend it. Also 59 in 84 by same author and narrator about Old Hoss Radbourn is also excellent.
