A world-class pitcher, a formidable manager, and a brilliant administrator, Rube Foster was arguably more influential in breaking down the color barrier in major league baseball than the venerable Jackie Robinson. Born in 1879, Rube Foster pitched for the legendary black baseball teams the Cuban X-Giants and the Philadelphia Giants before becoming player-manager of the Leland Giants and the Chicago American Giants. Long a central figure in black baseball, he founded baseball's first black league the Negro National League in 1920. From its inception, the Negro League served as a vehicle through which many of the finest black players could showcase their considerable talents. Challenging racial discrimination and stereotypes, it ultimately set the stage for future efforts to contest Jim Crow. Despite the long-standing success of the Negro National League as an influential black institution, Rube Foster was deeply embittered by organized baseball's unmitigated refusal to lift the color barrier. He died a broken man in 1930. The Best Pitcher in Baseball is the story of a man of unparalleled vision and organizational acumen whose passion for justice changed the face of baseball forever. It is a moving tribute to a man and his dream. 606 $aBaseball players$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aAfrican American baseball players$vBiography 606 $aBaseball team owners$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aNegro leagues$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBaseball players 615 0$aAfrican American baseball players 615 0$aBaseball team owners 615 0$aNegro leagues$xHistory. 676 $a796.357/092 676 $aB 700 $aCottrell$b Robert C.$f1950-$0269055 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455686603321 996 $aThe best pitcher in baseball$92466417 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02339nam 2200409 450 001 9910139350303321 005 20240213133104.0 010 $a88-15-14427-7 035 $a(CKB)2470000000005197 035 $a(NjHacI)992470000000005197 035 $a(EXLCZ)992470000000005197 100 $a20240213d2009 uy 0 101 0 $aita 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 13$aLe risorse per lo spettacolo $eTrasparenza, accountability ed efficacia della spesa pubblica nello spettacolo /$fZan Luca 210 1$aBologna, Italy :$cSocieta? editrice il Mulino,$d2009. 215 $a1 online resource (276 pages) 225 0 $aPrismi (il Mulino) 330 $aSpesso al centro di dibattiti pubblici e di ventilate riforme piu? o meno radicali, il sistema di finanziamento pubblico allo spettacolo in Italia risulta ancora scarsamente indagato. Questo volume affronta in modo approfondito il processo di allocazione delle risorse pubbliche, analizzando in maniera congiunta la normativa di settore, i dati di finanziamento, le procedure e le prassi che regolano in modo formale e informale il sistema di sostegno allo spettacolo dal vivo. Il "dietro le quinte" rivela numerose criticita? di fondo nell'intera impalcatura, ad esempio il grado con cui le finalita? dichiarate vengono di fatto perseguite e l'emergere di fenomeni che portano paradossalmente a risultati non previsti dalla norma stessa. Uno strumento efficace per comprendere il funzionamento del sistema e per ragionare con cognizione di causa su problemi e contraddizioni del settore, di grande utilita? sia per gli studiosi sia per gli operatori. 517 $arisorse per lo spettacolo 517 $aLe risorse per lo spettacolo: Trasparenza, accountability ed efficacia della spesa pubblica nello spettacolo 517 $aLe risorse per lo spettacolo.
