"Negro League Baseball - The Rise and Ruin of a Black Institution" by Neil Lanctot.
It's a great book so far focusing on the business side of Negro League ball and how the leagues struggled and fought to survive. Not as much a book about the players, games, stats and stories like others I've read. I'm still in the beginning so maybe that comes in later chapters but so far it's really good.
