African American baseball pioneer Jimmy Claxton was one of the first to integrate semi-pro, minor league, and professional baseball in Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, Oakland, and Reno prior to World War 2. This biography covers the ups and downs, on and off the diamond, of his forty year career during baseball's most turbulent times, and his refusal to accept segregation on any field.
