Description: Baseball Rebels recounts baseball's persistent racism, sexism, and homophobia, as well as the efforts by rebels to challenge these injustices.

Review Quotes: "In an age where increasing amounts of attention continue to be devoted to diversity and inclusion, Peter Dreier and Robert Elias reinforce the notion that we've come a long way but still have a long way to go. Baseball Rebels serves as a well-rounded volume that examines various aspects of the national pastime vis-à- vis the tumultuous social issues of race relations, the battle of the sexes-- in more ways than one-- and progressive activism."--Paul Hensler, NINE: A Journal of Baseball History and Culture
